00:00Of course, when you go to voluntary OTAs and you're throwing a ton,

00:04your shoulder can hurt, your arm can hurt.

00:07That's the story in Duval County.

00:09New head coach Liam Cohen saying that Trevor Lawrence was wearing a sleeve,

00:14not a sling, as some said on social media,

00:17a sleeve on his throwing arm because of, quote,

00:21general soreness from how many balls he threw last week at OTAs.

00:25It was really just maintenance and something to keep it warm.

00:28Trevor, quote, feels good, it's not an issue, and it's not really bothering him.

00:34Trevor Lawrence did participate, by the way, in all those drills yesterday at minicamp,

00:38just with a sleeve on that right throwing arm.

00:41Yeah, I'm not worried about it.

00:43And also understand this, people.

00:44The reason that NFL teams bring like five or six quarterbacks into training camp

00:48isn't because, Ben, they want to get a look at the fifth and sixth string quarterback.

00:51It's because there's so many reps that you have to take

00:54that you don't want to leave it up to your first or second string quarterback

00:56throwing 160 balls every single practice.

01:00That's the reason why.

01:01And arm fatigue is a real thing.

01:02And also understand this.

01:03I'm sure Trevor Lawrence is probably working out in the offseason,

01:06but once you finally get into that OTAs training camp mentality,

01:09like everything gets up, more torque on the shoulder,

01:12more footballs you're throwing that you weren't throwing over the past couple months.

01:14General soreness is a thing for quarterbacks, not just pitchers in baseball.

01:18I'm not worried about it.
