Trevor Lawrence knew he would be the first-overall pick before he was selected. Not willing to jinx himself, he waited until draft night to officially don the Jaguars’ hat, officially becoming the team’s next franchise quarterback.
He won’t take the opportunity for granted, however, making sure to note that the respect he wants to receive must be earned, not simply given because he was drafted at the top spot in the 2021 NFL Draft. Lawrence is ready to be a part of a franchise ran by Urban Meyer, noting that he’s a winner, something he’s done his entire career.
