Regarding Dustin from Orlando, "The Jaguars donated $11,203 to Trevor Lawrence as a wedding gift to give to his charities. He, in turn, donated $20,000 to Jaguars charities. Something about this rubs me the wrong way. I'm assuming it's allowed but it just doesn't sit well with me. What's your take on it, Vic?" That's a significant misrepresentation of facts. Jags fans bought him and his wife a high-tech toaster and then kept at it by donating money to charities he supports. In return, they donated $20K to charities based in Jacksonville. The Jaguars organization had nothing to do with any of it, and that detail seems important to me.
My answer remains the same: Too close too soon. You people are so love-struck with Lawrence you're acting like teenage girls. Buy him a wedding gift?

What a [BLEEP] response.  The dude had a legit point because what if something like this were against NFL rules. Could they have jeopardized the #1 pick by issuing gifts to draft candidates?  I assume they looked into this legally prior to sending the gift but dang, why even bother risking anything since the NFL would likely prefer Trevor going to the Jets.

It is my understanding that once the school year is over and the player is no longer part of the team, they can seek endorsements, accept gifts and other things without it being an issue. If he had gotten married during the season and fans in Jacksonville knew we were getting him and sent him gifts, that probably would've been an issue. 

With that said, Vic has always been a first class jerk.
