Trevor Lawrence: Of course we have carts, I chose not to use one

Trevor Lawrence set the record straight Wednesday: the Jacksonville Jaguars could’ve carted him to the locker room. He was the one who decided to make the long walk.

“We talked about getting a cart and I was gonna get a cart and I’m standing there, already on the sideline at that point, the tunnel is right there, I just wanted to get off the field and get out of there,” Lawrence said. “I felt like I could get off. I said ‘you’re good, don’t bring it, I’m going in.’

“Once I got in there, I’m like ‘this is pretty long walk.’ I was already there, they asked again if I wanted a cart, and I was like ‘no, I’m gonna make it.’ I didn’t know there was cameras in the tunnel.”

The video of Lawrence making the trek through the tunnels caused a bit of drama from viewers, who were baffled to see the Jaguars’ franchise quarterback struggling to make the long walk.

Colin Cowherd of FOX Sports even went so far as to call the team “a Mickey Mouse operation” for not bringing a cart out for Lawrence. That bothered Jaguars punter Logan Cooke enough to come to his team’s defense.

“Of course we have carts,” Lawrence said. “We have everything we need and I was the one that didn’t choose to take one. Put it on me, maybe that was a dumb, maybe I should’ve taken one, but it has nothing to do with us not having a cart. I don’t think that would happen in the National Football League, especially here with the crew that we have.”
