Trevor Lawrence on NFL Future: 'I'm Ready to Take on Any Challenge'

Potential No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence isn't worried about where he will land in the NFL draft.

"I'm just going to be happy to have the opportunity, wherever that is," Lawrence said on The Adam Schefter Podcast (31:20). "Obviously there's some teams that it's going to be more of a process to get to the point where they want to be, but I'm ready to take on any challenge. And whatever team wants me, I'm going to be happy about it."

The Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets—both 1-13 through Week 15—are the two most likely landing spots for Lawrence and he would be tasked with keying a rebuild in either situation. However, the Clemson quarterback won't complain about the situation regardless of which team selects him.

The Jets were in the driver's seat to secure the No. 1 pick with an 0-13 start to the season until Sunday's 23-20 upset over the Los Angeles Rams. The Jaguars are now in the top position by virtue of an easier strength of schedule, per Tankathon.

Lawrence—who told Schefter he has never even been to New York—said he would feel comfortable with the Jets if he ended up there.

Neither situation would be easy for a rookie quarterback considering the limited talent around them and the poor recent history.

The Jets have gone 10 years without a playoff berth and currently rank dead last in total offense and in the bottom five in both points and yards allowed. The Jaguars have just one winning season in the last 13 years and will likely have their seventh last-place finish in this stretch. The current squad has given up the most yards in the NFL while ranking 29th in points scored.

It's led to speculation Lawrence would refuse to play for one of these teams and force himself into a better situation, similar to former top picks Eli Manning or John Elway.

This fear can apparently be put to bed with the talented prospect ready for anything at the next level.
