Trevor Lawrence, Baker Mayfield and Other 1st Overall Picks to Land Bumper Endorsements

The 2021 NFL Draft is scheduled to be held between April 29 – May 1, 2021. There are multiple top prospects up for grabs this summer. But one player who is in a league of his own is Clemson Tigers quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The silk-haired youngster is expected to emerge as the 1st overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Urban Meyer-coached Jacksonville Jaguars will secure a major coup by bringing in someone like Lawrence this summer. From a sporting point of view, Trevor is arguably the most talented QB in the class of 2021. But what he brings from a commercial standpoint might turn the Jaguars into a global phenomenon.
