ESPN insider article on Lawson

"Clemson is a nice place with a family feeling," Lawson said. "I like Coach Swinney, I like the family environment and it is a winning program."

"I just like all of the great players that have come out of Tennessee that I admire," Lawson said. "People always say everywhere has great facilities, but man Tennessee has some special facilities. They have a good history, a crazy fanbase and a huge college town like Knoxville."

"It was awesome to be able to visit a place where your idol went," Lawson said. "The best part about the visit was being able to watch so much film. I watched some of Peyton Manning, and I do not know much about quarterbacks, but then they told me they had all of the film throughout the years, and I went nuts. I ended up staying longer than I was supposed to. They had all of the best defensive linemen, and the best 3-4 pass rushers throughout all of the years on over 10 monitors, and I would watch pass rush film on Jason Babin, Trent Cole, Demarcus Ware, and I was already ecstatic. It was crazy just watching Dwight Freeney, Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White, Derrick Thomas broken down on film with all of their moves dissected. My favorite movie of all time has to be Dark Knight, and this was like that times two."

"I know the Coach Stripling is a really, really, really good coach," Lawson said. "He has proven that over time, so I know I could learn a lot from him."

"This weekend is just a chance to see Auburn again, have some fun, chill and meet the entire coaching staff," Lawson said. "We are pretty cool right now and we are building a good relationship. I still had more of a trust with the old staff because I knew more about what the old staff was doing, so I am trying to see what the direction of this group. I do like Gus Malzahn's offense and he has seen the SEC and scores a lot of points so his resume speaks for itself."

"What they are trying to sell to me is how they used Jadeveon Clowney, but he has such an incredible get off," Lawson said. "But it is a freshman-friendly defense that just asks you to go get the ball. I like how I would be used in that scheme."

As for how the next week will go, Lawson sounded confident and relaxed.

"I am just taking this one step at a time," Lawson said.

Dude seriously, your "homerism" is noxious and vexing. Refrain from posting so slanted opinions.
