The potential first pick of the next draft needs a repair of the labrum of the left shoulder
The quarterback of Clemson, Trevor Lawrence, is getting ready to undergo a surgical procedure on the labrum of the left shoulder that is not expected to affect his preparation for the 2021 season, representatives of the quarterback on MGC Sports told Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The procedure would be carried out after Lawrence –projected to be chosen first overall in the draft of the NFL this year – will pitch in front of league team officials on February 12, his representatives said.
Doctors said they were confident that Lawrence will have recovered in time for training camp, according to representatives, adding that Lawrence will not participate in the pro day of Clemson, scheduled for next March.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have the first overall pick for the draft, and are expected to select with that turn to Lawrence, where he will play for the new head coach Urban Meyer.
With the team of Clemson, Lawrence won a national title, a national runner-up, and won the Tigers in the semifinal of College Football Playoff in the most recent season.
