LeBron James has been the face of the NBA for quite some time now and that started when he was a young player. Of course, he had to work hard to reach his status but LeBron was already seen as the next big thing in the league. 

James entered the league as “The Chosen One” and he exceeded expectations, becoming one of the most influential athletes in the world, not only in the NBA. The 4x NBA champion has made a big impact in the league and that’s something that not every player can brag about. 

LeBron’s impact on the world of sports has been huge and plenty of people believe not even Zion Williamson will ever reach James’ level. However, some people believe it can be done in the NFL with one of the biggest prospects the league has seen in recent years. 

Analyst compares Trevor Lawrence's impact to LeBron James’

Tony Wiggins, the host of the daily Locked On Jaguars podcast, compared what Lawrence would mean to the Jacksonville Jaguars if they landed the talented quarterback. After the New York Jets won their first game of the season, the JAGS are now the leading team to get his talents. 

Wiggins explained that Lawrence's arrival in Jacksonville will be similar to what happened when LeBron landed in Cleveland, changing the history of that team forever. 

The impact this has when you are talking about a quarterback that is considered a generational talent like Trevor Lawrence, the impact this has is, one, similar to what a basketball player would have. And not just any basketball player, a LeBron James or a Zion Williamson type basketball player and this is the type of impact that this could have on a franchise, especially a franchise like Jacksonville.

This has an impact on Jacksonville much like LeBron James had on a Cleveland Cavaliers franchise. I’m not talking about the impact on the Los Angeles Lakers or the Miami Heat franchise, that is different because those are big-city franchises that have experienced winning before in big major cities that have a whole lot of other stuff going on. But for a Jacksonville Jaguars franchise, much like Cleveland, even though it is a big market but it had not won anything and that had that identity crisis going on because they had not won anything and have a very rabid fanbase but they had not won anything, this is the type of impact that it could have. Take away the fact that he is quasi a hometown kid. Akron is his hometown with it being forty miles away. The thing is that the impact that it has is that it totally changes how an organization is viewed.

Lawrence is one of the best prospects the NFL has seen in recent years. He has the talent to turn things around for whoever drafts him. Trevor is a generational talent like LeBron and Zion whatever team ends up getting him, will get a real gem.
