Why Trevor Lawrence should embrace the challenge of the Jets over the comforts of Clemson

Sometime during Trevor Lawrence’s sophomore season at Cartersville (Georgia) High School, a year he would chuck 43 touchdown passes, he ascended to the top of the Class of 2018 recruiting rankings.

He was just 15 years old during part of that season, but he had it all. Size. Strength. Accuracy. Athleticism. Leadership. Intelligence. Maturity.
