Though Dexter Lawrence is being talked about as a mid-to-late-first-round selection in April’s NFL Draft, Clemson’s former defensive tackle is not satisfied with that grade.
“I feel like I am better than that,” he said prior to Saturday’s autograph session at The Fan Zone in North Charleston. “It is up to me to prove that. I just have to prove myself. That has kind of been my motto all of my life.”
Lawrence will try to prove how better he is at the NFL Scouting Combine when he arrives in Indianapolis, Ind., on Feb. 27. He, along with former Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell, has spent the last month in Pensacola, Fla.
