While the weeks leading up to tonight’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns brought plenty of speculation and questions regarding who would receive the first, first-team repetitions, that was cleared up quickly as first-overall selection, quarterback Trevor Lawrence received the starting nod over Gardner Minshew II.
Lawrence, the rookie quarterback out of Clemson, fared well in his 15 snaps during tonight’s contest against the Cleveland Browns, completing 6 out of 9 of his passes for 71 yards, including a long 35-yard gain to Marvin Jones Jr. early on in the contest.
The rookie quarterback wasn’t perfect, however, holding onto the football, leading to a sack in the first quarter.
