Lawrence was predictably brilliant at his pro day, so even if the Jags had any questions about his abilities, they probably don’t now. So then, as Meyer recounted, “I said why don’t you just grab the ball and go throw for a little bit? I’d like to send our coordinator and passing-game coordinator to watch.
He wanted to have a showcase, but he agreed with Meyer that waiting until the March 11 pro day - which would mean putting off his surgery until sometime after March 11 - would push his recovery too far into the summer. The second thing, you can not throw.”Īlthough Lawrence didn’t really have anything to prove, he didn’t like the second option.
“That’s getting late because it’s a five-month recovery. 1, you can wait until March 11 Pro Day – but now you are getting near August ,” Meyer said. “We did a Zoom call with him, and I asked him – there are three choices you have. When he heard a little over a week ago that Lawrence would need surgery, Meyer said he had a number of phone calls with his future quarterback. And as John Reid of the Florida Times-Union writes, new Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer was instrumental in bringing that pro day about. Lawrence underwent surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder yesterday, but in order to show off his abilities before going under the knife, he held an early pro day last Friday.
If you wanted even more evidence that Jacksonville will make Lawrence the first player to hear his name called when the draft kicks off on April 29, you have it. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, it has been a foregone conclusion that the club will use that selection on Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, a potentially generational talent.
