Rooting for this kid to pull a Eli Manning. The #1 and #3 pay difference isn't that much and coming to a stacked team as a rookie with an offensive guru gives him a greater chance of having a successful career right off the bat. Not many SB contenders holds a top 3 pick every year. Make a business decision Trevor!!

Trevor has always been like this. Everybody in the family says that off the football field, Marissa, who played soccer at Division II Anderson University, is more competitive than he is.

" Trevor's coach at Cartersville High, Joey King, says, "There is no doubt about it: With who he is as a person, he could walk away from it tomorrow and be fine." Others who know Lawrence well agree.

Which is why Cam Newton didn't go #1 in his draft class? Teams will overlook character to an extent if the talent is there. Just how the 49ers went and drafted Foster despite numerous glaring bright red flags.

Cam stole a laptop when he was a freshman... not a biggie. The same people say getting a DUI isnt a biggie. What other issues did Cam have?

He still went #1 in spite of having been charged with three felonies. JaMarcus Russell went #1 despite lingering questions about his work ethic. It was pretty clear that he put little to no effort into watching film as he was constantly confused on where to go with the football but hey, big arm, athleticism, big body, he was a #1.
In the end, talent>>>>>>everything else. If you're good enough, teams will overlook plenty in the hope of landing a premiere talent.

Oh without a doubt, no argument there. But more often than not, certain players work ethic or character issues never come up but others do.

If you're not seen as a premium talent, people will hold more stuff against you and grade you more harshly. It you're seen as a top prospect with potential game-changing abilities, teams let all kinds of stuff slide and always will.
