Brett Favre thinks Jaguars should pass on Trevor Lawrence |
Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre knows a thing or do about quarterback play.
However, he is not a fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars selecting Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence with the first pick of the 2021 NFL draft. “In my opinion, I don’t know if quarterback is [Jacksonville’s] immediate need," he told TMZ recently. "I would take [Alabama wide receiver] DeVonta Smith. I think you go with a guy like that." Favre went on to say that Smith is a game-changer at the receiver position. "Nothing against Trevor Lawrence, but I think you can find a free-agent [quarterback] or an [quarterback] in the latter rounds or mid-rounds of the draft. But you just don’t find a guy like [Smith]. This guy can be a Jerry Rice, a Randy Moss, a total game-changer." Favre should understand that the Jaguars could have four or five Devonta Smiths running routes, but if they don't have a decent quarterback throwing, it wouldn't matter at all. Besides picking NFL draft selections, Favre apparently is also an expert on the wonders of cheese: Oh dear lord pic.twitter.com/HZdJzuhghQ
