Quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s path to becoming the first overall pick of the 2021 NFL draft will include repairs to his left shoulder.
Lawrence’s agents announced via several reporters that their client has a wound in the shoulder that does not throw. It will have to be surgically repaired and this has led to changes in the plans for him to throw in front of teams.
Lawrence will throw for teams on February 12 rather than on Clemson’s Pro Day. It seems unlikely that one throwing session would do anything to influence Jacksonville’s decision with the top pick, but that means they will still get the chance to see him in action before making anything official.
According to reports, Lawrence’s doctors are confident he will be well on time for his first NFL practice camp.
