NFL writer wonders if expectations for Lawrence are too high

The expectations for Trevor Lawrence at Jacksonville are high. After all, he was the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Jaguars.

But what can we really expect from the former Clemson star, who on Thursday was named the 2020-’21 ACC Male Athlete of the Year, during his rookie season in the NFL?

Since his freshman season in high school, Lawrence has lost just a total of four games and none in the regular season. He lost two games in high school in Cartersville, Ga., both in the state playoffs, and two as a three-year starter at Clemson, both in the College Football Playoff.
