The 21-year-old Trevor Lawrence will undergo shoulder surgery this week. He is expected to spend a 5-6 month spell on the sidelines. He is scheduled to complete rehab just in time for preseason.
But with the NFL Draft set to be held on April 29th, will teams such as the Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets, or even the Atlanta Falcons hesitate to take a bet and pick Lawrence due to his injury niggle? We don’t think so.

Lawrence finished the 2020 season as a Heisman Trophy runner-up. He threw for 3,153 passing yards with 24 passing touchdowns. He finished his 3-year Clemson spell with more than 10,000+ passing yards and 90+ touchdowns.
Coach Meyer from the Jaguars will not think twice before making Lawrence the #1 pick. Of course, Ohio State’s Justin Fields and Alabama’s De’Vonta Smith are also bright young prospects. But Trevor is considered the ideal man to usher in a new era in Jacksonville.
