His expression is stoic. He's ignoring the shouts and the screams of fans and the clicking of shutters and the intrusion of a boom mic over his head as he waits in the tunnel.
He's just endured a frustrating day at the office on national TV and no one could blame him if he just walked up the ramp and threw his helmet at the wall. After all, we've all watched baseball players, football players behave like toddlers in the dugout and on the sidelines when they're frustrated. Tennis players throw their racquets and shout at referees. Soccer players call the officials names when calls don't go their way. We sort of expect it. It makes for good television, after all.
Instead Trevor Lawrence stands in the tunnel; tired, disappointed, dirty and cold and greets his teammates and support staff as they trudge into the tunnel after losing their divisional championship game to the Kansas City Chiefs. He reaches out to shake hands, to hug those that need it, to say a few whispered private words in a very public place. He acknowledges the disappointment and the feelings that their best effort wasn't good enough. Only after the last one straggles past does he turn to go.
What is so remarkable about this scene? Trevor Lawrence is only 24 years old.
