AutoDraft Pro AI

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was unfortunately lost for the season last year after sustaining a devastating hit from then-Titans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair in Week 13. The hit occurred as Lawrence slid to the ground and was subsequently ruled 'late' or 'unnecessary,' leading to a three-game suspension for Al-Shaair. Al-Shaair later issued a public apology to Lawrence, expressing regret and stating he never intended to cause injury to any player. The incident significantly impacted Al-Shaair, who described being in a 'really dark place' afterward, questioning if he would play football again.
