Jaguars coach Urban Meyer says he reached out to Clarkson full-back Trevor Lawrence after learning that Lawrence had to have surgery on his shoulder, and the two discussed the timing of the Pro Day workout Lawrence had. did last week, before his surgery. .
Meyer told the NFL Network he does not think Lawrence should wait to undergo his surgery after Clemson’s Pro Day on March 11, because then he may not be cured in time for training camp. Meyer also pointed out that Lawrence does not have to throw for scouts at all, but Lawrence said he wants to.
‘We made a Zoom call with him and I asked him. There are three choices you have. Nr. 1, you can wait until March 11 Pro Day – but now you come close to August [for a recovery time], ”Meyer said via the Florida Times-Union. “It’s getting late because it’s a five-month recovery. This is an injury of six months. The second thing, you can not throw. He’s probably a good enough player, but he said, ‘I’m not doing that.’ Third thing, I said why not just grab the ball and go throw a little? I would like to send our coordinator and coordinator for passing games to check. They had never seen him before. I saw him, and he said, ‘Let’s go.’ ”
Meyer did not come out right and said the Jaguars are going to line up Lawrence with the first overall pick, but there is little doubt. The other 31 head coaches do not have to be with Lawrence over his off-season schedule.
