The Trevor Lawrence Effect on Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Effect on Trevor Lawrence

April 29 will mark the first day of the strangest of NFL marriages, when the perfect prospect and the imperfect franchise begin their journey together.

Trevor Lawrence has been on the NFL radar since his days at Cartersville (Ga.) High School. He’s 6' 6" but has the quickness and twitchy athleticism of a much smaller man. The ball spins off his hand with preternatural ease. Theoretically, he can run any offensive system an NFL coaching staff can dream up. And as far as the traits translating to production: He won a national title as a 19-year-old freshman at Clemson and left campus with a career record of 38–2.
