Building the perfect QB from the top-five QB prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft

Smarts/Awareness: Trevor Lawrence - Clemson

Trevor Lawrence grew up a Peyton Manning fan and Manning was one of the best NFL quarterbacks at reading defenses. That's one thing Trevor Lawrence has developed over his time playing quarterback in college. Lawrence led the Clemson Tigers to three straight College Football Playoff appearances and won a national championship as a freshman.

If were building the perfect NFL quarterback, Mac Jones' frame is perfect for sustaining hits from defensive linemen. Jones' 6-foot-3, 214lbs frame is a great start. Trevor Lawrence is perfect when it comes to height. Lawrence stands 6-foot-6 and can easily see over the offensive line.

Poise/Clutch: Trevor Lawrence/Justin Fields - Ohio State/Clemson
