Los Angeles ¨C Trevor Lawrence has something in common with the newest tight end on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Both were first-round draft picks as quarterbacks.

Lawrence praised Tim Tebow on Wednesday during an interview with NFL Network. The No. 1 overall pick out of Clemson believes he can work well with the 33-year-old Tebow, who is back in the league with Jaguars first-year coach Urban Meyer.

¡°I¡¯ve had a few good conversations with him,¡± Lawrence said. ¡°I¡¯m really excited to play with him. I don¡¯t know if you¡¯re going to find a better guy to have in your locker room, and he¡¯s in great shape. He looks great, he¡¯s been out there practicing with us.¡±

Tebow has not played in the NFL since 2012, when he appeared in 12 games and started two for the New York Jets. He is not promised a spot on the Jaguars¡¯ 53-man roster, but Lawrence likes what he has seen from the veteran.

¡°He¡¯s running around well, picking it up quick,¡± Lawrence said. ¡°I think mentally, he¡¯s in a great spot. Being a quarterback and playing in the NFL for a number of years, he kind of gets the NFL offense ¡ª personnel, offense, systems ¡ª he picks them up easily.

¡°He¡¯s coming along great and I think just everyone¡¯s excited to have him in the locker room, seeing what he¡¯s been able to do, the ultimate competitor he is and just his character. That¡¯s just a guy you want on your team, for one, and a guy you want to be around.¡±

As for Lawrence, his adjustment to the NFL has been smooth so far.

¡°There¡¯s a lot of differences, (but) it¡¯s still football,¡± Lawrence said. ¡°It¡¯s been a lot of fun to get out there with all the new guys, new teammates, and kind of get used to everyone. That¡¯s been fun, but it¡¯s just different.

¡°I¡¯m a pro now, and just the way people handle their business, the expectations, all those things, in a good way. You¡¯re just expected to be prepared and play at a high level because this is our job now. It¡¯s been a cool adjustment for me, and being able to treat this as, this is my job. This is all I have to do. It¡¯s not like I¡¯m in school anymore.¡±
