Jacksonville is ready to go Orange & Purple

How excited is the city of Jacksonville, Fla., to get former Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence in Thursday’s NFL Draft?

Excited enough to light up one of its famous bridges Orange & Purple once the Jacksonville Jaguars select Lawrence with the first overall pick in the draft.

Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry tweeted Wednesday he asked the Jacksonville Transportation Authority to light up the city’s downtown Acosta Bridge.

I asked my team and @JTAFLA to light up our downtown Acosta Bridge, Purple & Orange tonight, on the eve of the #NFLDraft.
