NFL Draft News: Trevor Lawrence Holding Throwing Sessions Early – Here’s What it Means for the Jacksonville Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence is one of the most highly touted prospects to enter the NFL in recent memory. The Clemson quarterback, who has been making waves in the college football arena, is heavily expected to be the number one draft pick this year. The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to add him to their ranks on April 29.

In preparation for the off-season this year, Trevor Lawrence announced that he will be holding throwing sessions. Given how quickly Lawrence made the announcement, just days after the Super Bowl, many wondered why he was doing this so early in the post-season.

Lawrence’s team gave a pretty simple response – “Why would he not?”. However, it appears as though there is an underlying reason for him doing so. The 21-year-old wants to get his throwing sessions over and done with so that he can get surgery done. The procedure will not affect his throwing arm, as it is on his left shoulder to fix a nagging injury.

Trevor Lawrence is ready for the NFL

The Clemson star’s decision to hold throwing sessions in itself is perplexing, as he is all but expected to be picked first on draft day. Furthermore, there are other players further lower down the totem pole who haven’t announced any private sessions with NFL franchises ahead of the draft. However, Lawrence is taking no chances ahead of the NFL draft this year. This could hold him in good stead among the NFL bosses.

For the Jaguars, the throwing session will be their first chance to look at Lawrence outside of his college football games. While he won’t be invited to a practice session with the entire team, they will get a first-hand look at the standout college athlete.
