NFL Draft No 1 overall pick 2021: Trevor Lawrence Jaguars story

The Jacksonville Jaguars ensured to make the most of their first pick in the NFL Draft this season after finishing with the worst record in the NFL last season. They did so by making star quarterback Trevor Lawrence their first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Lawrence, 6-foot-6, 220 pounds, has been thought to be the eventual first-overall pick seemingly since his years at the high school level, and certainly during his three years at the collegiate level with the Tigers.

In three years with Clemson, Lawrence accounted for 10,098 yards, while completing 759 out of 1,138 passing attempts (66.6%), 90 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. He would lead his team to two National Championship appearances, including one victory in 2018. The Tigers reached the playoffs under the guidance of Lawrence during all three seasons while he was their signal-caller.
