First of all, it isn't "a lot of" talking heads.  It's one or two that expressed some concern about it, and I don't recall any of them saying they wouldn't draft him number one overall. 

Secondly, he didn't say he could walk away from football and be content.  That was a former high school coach that speculated about that.

What he did say was, he doesn't have a chip on his shoulder and he can't manufacture one.  And why would he?  Has anyone ever doubted him or told him he wasn't the best?  It would be ridiculous for him to have a chip on his shoulder.

Both Skip and Shannon said it and I am pretty sure Cowherd said it too. It is a legit concern if you look for guys who are football junkies and only care about winning and nothing else. His coach did say it but he has known him for years and probably has a good insight into how he thinks. 
Me personally, I am still taking Trevor but I could see it being a concern for others.

Cowherd did not say that.  Cowherd said he initially had some concern about it, but he thought about it and decided it wasn't really important.  Cowherd said Mahomes doesn't have a chip on his shoulder, either.  

Michael Jordan made up incidents where he was supposedly insulted in order to motivate himself.  Created incidents that never happened, out of thin air.  Is that really necessary?  

This is all pre-draft [BLEEP].  They've run out of things to talk about, so they want to start tearing down Trevor Lawrence.  Well guess what?  He doesn't care.

And besides, if he got to where he was without a chip on his shoulder, imagine how great he'll be when these guys finally piss him off.
