Trevor Lawrence came into Clemson with the highest of credentials a quarterback can have. A 5-star talent, he was rated as the No. 1 overall player in the Class of 2018.
However, none of that warrants Lawrence the right to be battling incumbent Kelly Bryant for playing time. The reason the true freshman is second on the depth chart and will be playing early and often this season for the Tigers has a lot to do with his overall knowledge of the offense, to go along with his natural arm strength and talent.
There isn’t much about Clemson’s offense that Lawrence does not already know.
