The Jacksonville Jaguars are in a position to select Lawrence after landing the first overall pick.

Lawrence will depart the college ranks as one of the most heralded quarterback prospects in recent memory.

The 21-year-old accumulated a 34-2 record as a starter and led Clemson to a national championship in 2018 as a freshman. Lawrence earned MVP honors for his performance in the title game as his three-touchdown showing led to a 44-16 victory over Alabama.

Lawrence led the Tigers to the College Football Playoff in each of his three seasons, with his only two losses coming to LSU in last year's national title game and Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl on Friday.

A three-time ACC champion, Lawrence also finished runner-up for the 2020 Heisman trophy.

Lawrence's ability to carve up opposing defenses was on grand display during his three years at Clemson. The signal-caller threw for over 10,000 yards and 90 touchdowns.
