Meyer, whose team holds the No. 1 overall selection, was all but attached at the hip to Clemson coach Dabo Swinney for much of the session.
“Everything is going normal, but life happens sometimes and things get switched up. Showing that I can adapt, adjust, prepare short-notice and still put on a pretty good day,” Lawrence said.
Along with the Jaguars, NFL clubs who sent coaches and/or scouts to the workout included the Falcons, Jets, Broncos, 49ers, Chargers, Dolphins, Eagles, Giants, Lions, Patriots, Raiders, Saints, Steelers, Texans and Titans, per NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. Those teams also got a chance to watch former Clemson WR Cornell Powell, also an NFL draft prospect, who was among Lawrence’s pass catchers.
Lawrence threw 52 passes, but for an elite prospect who NFL scouts consider the best quarterback to enter the NFL draft in years, however, there was little to prove on Friday.
“It’s like watching Steph Curry shoot a basketball,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said of Lawrence’s workout. “Who doesn’t like to watch that?”
Lawrence’s weigh-in results came in slightly under his Clemson-listed size of 6-foot-6, 220 pounds, measuring 6-5 5/8 and weighing 213. His hands measured 10 inches, which is comfortably above average for what NFL clubs prefer, and matched the largest hand measurements from the Reese’s Senior Bowl (Feleipe Franks, Jamie Newman).
