Star quarterback prospect Trevor Lawrence impressed during his personal throwing session Friday.

Lawrence, who opted to throw for teams before undergoing left shoulder surgery, made a number of difficult attempts appear simple.

The presumptive first overall selection also provided an update on the potential timetable for his shoulder recovery.

"I think roughly - and obviously I've gotta continue to talk to the doctors and see how the rehab goes - but I think I can throw in six-to-eight weeks after the surgery, (and) start throwing again," Lawrence told reporters, according to ESPN's Field Yates. "And then looking at a four-to-five month full clearance."

The Jacksonville Jaguars, who currently hold the No. 1 pick, attended the 21-year-old's pro day. Urban Meyer was the only NFL head coach on the field for his workouts.

Lawrence completed 66.6% of his pass attempts while throwing for 10,098 yards and 90 touchdowns against 17 interceptions over three seasons at Clemson.
