BIOGRAPHY: Connecticut transfer who started the past two seasons at fullback and tailback. All-Conference selection as a senior after totaling 318/1585/16 on the ground and adding 17 receptions.

POSITIVES: Patient running back who.s also proficient catching the ball out of the backfield. Waits for blocks to develop, finds the running lanes, and will pick his spots by weaving through traffic for extra yardage. Avoids defenders by cutting back against the grain, has enough speed to turn the corner, and runs with good lean. Solid receiver out of the backfield and picks up assignments in pass protection.

NEGATIVES: Loses momentum when he must immediately change direction and better in a straight line. Not a strong runner who breaks tackles. Does not consistently play to his timed speed.

ANALYSIS: Lawrence does a lot of little things well, which could help him capture a roster spot.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
