Trevor Lawrence Pro Day reactions: NFL media runs out of superlatives for Clemson QB
The Trevor Lawrence Pro Day was an absolute clinic as the Clemson football star put on a show for NFL scouts ahead of the NFL Draft.
Trevor Lawrence is the best quarterback prospect to enter the NFL Draft since Andrew Luck and the Clemson football star put on a show at Friday’s Pro Day.
Anyone who say Lawrence play during his three years at Clemson knew he was a fantastic prospect who could make all the requisite throws and had the prototypical measurables on top of ridiculous numbers and winning at a high level.
Lawrence’s Pro Day was just the latest box to be checked and he did just that in front of his old college coach, Dabo Swinney, and his future NFL head coach, Urban Meyer, who had the best seat in the house.
The reactions were overflowing with superlatives for Lawrence who uncorked one of the prettiest throws you’ll ever see.

Lawrence had an early Pro Day so he can have surgery on his left shoulder and be ready in time for training camp later this summer.
Trevor Lawrence to @ReceDavis on his left shoulder: "I think roughly - & obviously I've gotta continue to talk to the doctors & see how the rehab goes - but I think I can throw in 6-8 weeks after the surgery, start throwing again. And then looking at a 4-5 month full clearance."

Trevor Lawrence on if he noticed Jaguars coach Urban Meyer standing a few yards away during his workout: "Yeah, I saw him. Just waved at him real quick. Can't really communicate out here."

This is incredibly high praise from Hall of Famer, Troy Aikman.
Been studying Trevor Lawrence on tape for past few days - accurate (always my top priority), size, athletic, arm strength, throws intermediate pass w touch/velocity, good short-space quickness & compact release (neither usually the case for a 6’6 QB); 1/2

Urban Meyer with the Alpha move of standing right in front of Trevor Lawrence while he throws accomplishes two things. It sends a message to the other 31 teams and it also puts a little added pressure on the QB trying to showcase his skillset . pic.twitter.com/hVd7HP4umL

Lawrence makes the incredible look routine.
Just a casual 63-yard rocket on a dime in a scramble simulation for Trevor Lawrence. No biggie.

Lawrence measured just under 6-foot-6 as he was listed at Clemson and at 213 pounds, which is a little thin, so expect him to add about 10-15 pounds to his frame over the next several months.
