Dabo on how Trevor Lawrence has changed

Trevor Lawrence is arguably the best player in college football right now, but his head coach says the Clemson quarterback still has room to grow. 

One of the most highly-touted prospects in recent memory, Lawrence won the starting job four games into the 2018 season and helped lead the Tigers to their second national title in three years.

Dabo Swinney says he sees a difference between Lawrence then and Lawrence now.

"Just his composition is very different," Swinney told SiriusXM Radio. "I mean, his weight. He's strong. He's fast. All of his explosive measurables are up. I'm just really proud of him and how he's grinded in that weight room to get his body in the best possible shape that it could be."

Lawrence completed over 65 percent of his passes last season, threw 30 touchdowns, four interceptions, and had a near-perfect passer rating. During Clemson's postseason run, he threw eight touchdowns and no picks for the first 15-win college football team in 121 years.

That he apparently has room to improve is bad news for anyone on Clemson's schedule in the future, and very good news for the Tigers as they look to unseat Alabama as the top program in the nation.
