Trevor Lawrence almost mi sed his call to join the Jaguars.Well, actually, he did. Three times."We started calling him and getting a recording," Logan Couture Jersey Jaguars owner Shad Khan said. " We were seeing the clock tick away and we said , 'Let's try it again.' Andwe got the David Schlemko Jersey same recording."As Khan explained, Urban Meyer eventually got his own cell phone and that got through to Lawrence. It's unclear why the initial calls didn't connect, but nonethele sthe Jaguars were able to notify him that he was the pick.MORE Tommy Wingels Jersey : And so, the momentary panic in the Jacksonville warroom was over.Of course, the Jaguars still could've selected Lawrence without calling him. There's no rule against that. San Jose Sharks Jersey Teams typically just do that to let the prospects know that they're taking them, especially early on. Still, it's easy to understand why Jacksonville was a bit unnerved that their calls to Lawrence weren't going through.But why did they wait so long to call Lawrence? They had a full 10 minutes to get Joel Ward Jersey through to him, after all Mikkel Boedker Jersey , and they knew going into the night that he was their pick. Well, GM Trent Baalke said, the NFL had something to do with that."Well, when the league called, they said you have to wait seven minutes to turn in the card,"Baalke said. "So, we didn't pick up the phone to call him. We just sat there and Joonas Donskoi Jersey he's sitting on his end wondering why we hadn't called him."That certainly explains why the early stages Marc-Edouard Vlasic Jersey of the draft always seem to go slower than expected. But after this near mishap, don't expect the Jaguars or any other team to wait tocall their top choice. |
