Trevor Lawrence held one last throwing session because 'he has nothing to hide'

Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence is set to undergo shoulder surgery before the 2021 NFL Draft. However, that's not stopping him from holding one last throwing session in front of NFL coaches, scouts and executives. 

Many people have wondered why Lawrence is holding a throwing session because he has been regarded as a top pick for several years. Lawrence's quarterback tutor, and former NFL QB, Jordan Palmer explained his decision to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated.

"Reason he wants to throw is he loves ball and he has nothing to hide," Palmer said. "They want me to throw, I'll throw. Yeah, I'll throw for everybody. Sounds great. For him, he could sit there and say, I'm not doing it and here's why. And you gotta understand where I'm coming from too, my brother [Carson] was the surefire No. 1 pick, no doubt, he played in the Senior Bowl and threw at the combine, because, Give me a ball. I'd love to compete. I have nothing to hide. I love throwing. Trevor's the same kind of guy. He loves to compete, has nothing to hide, confident as they come and loves doing it. It's really simple for him. It wasn't really even a discussion."

Lawrence is expected to throw 50 passes to Clemson wide receiver Cornell Powell, former New York Jets receiver Charone Peake and former 49ers practice squad player Chris Finke.

Although Lawrence is expected to be taken by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the first-overall pick, the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles, Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers will also attend the session "just in case" the Jaguars make an unexpected move.
