Trevor Lawrence Reflects on Father’s Viral 2021 NFL Draft Moment: ‘I Was Cracking Up’

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence recently opened up about a humorous moment from the 2021 NFL Draft that still makes him laugh — his father’s unexpected viral fame.

Appearing on Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take podcast, Lawrence revisited the widely circulated clip in which his father, Jeremy Lawrence, was caught on camera with a stoic expression while his son was being selected as the No. 1 overall pick by the Jaguars.

“That was so funny. I was dying,” Lawrence said with a laugh. “Everyone was celebrating, and there’s my dad — just stone-faced. That clip blew up instantly.”

The quarterback admitted that while it was a huge night for his career, the internet had a field day with his father’s reaction. “He was obviously proud, just not the most expressive guy,” Lawrence added.

The moment, which became meme-worthy overnight, continues to resurface during NFL Draft season — a reminder of how even family reactions can steal the spotlight on one of the biggest nights in football.
