Former Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence is getting ready to make his first career NFL regular season start on Sunday when his Jacksonville Jaguars travel to Houston to play the Texans at 1 p.m.
History is not on Lawrence’s side when it comes to his chances of winning his first career start. According to CBS Sports, Jim Plunkett (1971), John Elway (1983) and David Carr (2002) are the only No. 1 overall picks to start at quarterback and win in Week 1 of their rookie season in the Super Bowl era. Since 2009, No. 1 overall picks that are quarterbacks are 0-6-1.
