NEW ORLEANS — Clemson sophomore quarterback Trevor Lawrence is 25-0 as a starter, won a national championship as a true freshman last season, and is projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
However, asked on SportsCenter which quarterback he is taking for Monday’s national title game, ESPN’s Jesse Palmer went with LSU’s Joe Burrow, who is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft this April.
Burrow has completed 77.6 percent of his passes for 5,208 yards and 55 touchdowns with six interceptions this season, while Lawrence has hit on 67.
