Normally a QB with recent shoulder surgery would cause a lot of consternation before the draft but not in this case. Trevor Lawrence has been the presumptive number one overall selection for years and will be despite the left non-throwing shoulder surgery. It is something he played through but undergoing surgery indicates a labral tear and instability. Despite this, Lawrence tossed for a career high 69.2 completion percentage and overall had an outstanding college career throwing for a total of 90 touchdowns in three years. The Clemson superstar did not attend the limited medical portion of the Combines as he got married on that weekend. It is likely the Jaguars medical staff were the ones asked to review his case and conduct a telemedicine visit. Lawrence will not be fully cleared until training camp. Normally, the surgery would affect the offseason program but given the pandemic and the NFLPA citing safety issues, the voluntary OTAs will have limited attendance. Our guess is Lawrence will do enough to learn the new system and what normally would be a big concern is in fact a small one going forward.
