by -

Jacksonville can't wait to welcome Trevor Lawrence to town, and that includes the mayor.

Trevor Lawrence is set to go No. 1 overall in the NFL draft Thursday, a Clemson-first, and head to the Jaguars to boost their rebuild.

Jacksonville mayor Lenny Curry decided to honor the soon-to-be occasion by lighting up a bridge in Clemson colors.

"I asked my team and @JTAFLA to light up our downtown Acosta Bridge, Purple & Orange tonight, on the eve of the #NFLDraft. Let’s bring QB1 home to @cityofjax," he said.

The first round of the NFL draft is set to start at 8 p.m. Thursday on ABC, ESPN and NFL Network.
