JACKSONVILLE, Florida – Even Trevor Lawrence believes the Jacksonville Jaguars will likely be the leader in the NFL draft.
The remarkable former Clemson acknowledged that during a tweet on Sunday night in which he thanked Jaguars fans for purchasing a wedding gift and raised over $ 11,000 for him to donate to a charity of his choice. Lawrence wrote that he and his wife, Marissa, would donate $ 20,000 to charities in Jacksonville and that he “hopes to be part of your community soon.”
“Soon” will probably mean April 29, shortly after the project starts at 8 pm ET (ESPN and the ESPN app). The Jaguars have their first overall pick, and the expectation at the end of the 2020 season is for the team to select Lawrence, who ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. ranks as the fourth-highest quarterback behind John Elway. , Andrew Luck and Peyton Manning.
Jaguars coach Urban Meyer told NBCSports.com last month that taking Lawrence with the first general election is “the direction we’re going.”
Jaguars fans organized a social media campaign to raise money to buy a gift for Lawrence’s wedding. The total donations raised reached $ 11,203, according to one of the fundraising organizers.
