The Jacksonville Jaguars and its fresh head coach, Urban Meyer, have all but telegraphed their upcoming decision with the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft — as all signs point to the Jaguars selecting Clemson's captain and quarterback Trevor Lawrence in late April.
Some Jags fans, however, didn't want to leave things up to chance.
Lawrence and his longtime fiancé, Marissa Mowry, exchanged vows this past weekend through a private ceremony in Bluffton, South Carolina, and the newly-minted couple had a few wedding gifts from some out-of-towners not on the guestlist — courtesy of some Jacksonville faithful hoping the franchise gets reinvigorated with his vitality.

“We know Trevor Lawrence isn't going to suck,” Eric Dillard said. “So we had to get him a [Dyson] vacuum that's going to do it for him.”
Per For The Win writer Charles Curtis, Eric Dillard (Twitter: @E_Dilla) found Lawrence and Mowry's wedding registry on Knot.com, a popular and comprehensive wedding planning website — and organized a fundraising drive for the quirky plan.
The original hopes were to buy a toaster and the vacuum cleaner — two quintessential items for the beginning of any good marriage. Crowd funding, however, exploded…and as of Tuesday at noon, donations for the gifts totaled more than $7,000.

Now, the welcome wagon for the Lawrence family is starting to take on a much larger form, with extra funds expected to be donated to charity organizations.
Vacuum cleaners, toasters, donations to charity, it's quite a haul after being married only 72 hours.
Looks like the honeymoon is already starting in Jacksonville.
