BEAVERTON, Ore. — Wearing a t-shirt and shorts, the most coveted high school quarterback in a decade effortlessly lobbed footballs last summer at The Opening, one of the nation's top gatherings of college prospects on the Nike campus.
Even then, without a helmet or pads, Trevor Lawrence looked every bit the player he was billed to be: a generational quarterback who broke Deshaun Watson's high school records in passing yards (13,902) and touchdowns (161) while starring at Cartersville High School in Georgia.
He's tall, 6'6", but at 210 pounds, he's not lanky. He is mechanical with his footwork and throwing motion but still smooth and natural.
