BYU QB Zach Wilson to attend NFL Draft in Cleveland By Zac Wassink | Last updated 4/21/21
Clemson Tigers superstar quarterback Trevor Lawrence declined an invitation to the 2021 NFL Draft that will be held in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, even though it s practically guaranteed the Jacksonville Jaguars will take him first overall on April 29.
