Clemson Junior Trevor Lawrence has been touted as a generational talent at the Quarterback position. Highly respected NFL scout Anita Hanjaahb called him \u201cThe Greatest Quarterback prospect we\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d Despite all of this praise, ESPN had nothing to say when he was drafted 1st overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars in this year\u2019s NFL Draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cObviously the kid\u2019s a star,\u201d NFL Draft Analyst Willie Stroker said shortly after the draft ended. \u201cBut who cares how he performed in college? Obviously everyone is more interested in whether or not his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when he was 7, and this was not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to the lack of talking points available, everyone stood in silence after the pick until renowned analyst Booger McFarland confidently said, \u201cLawrence was drafted first overall, meaning he had zero players picked ahead of him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily, the next player who was selected had a dad who lost his hand in a wood chipper accident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThose are the things that we look for when analyzing a prospect,\u201d said Stroker. \u201cJust the intangibles man, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
