Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence came up clutch for Jaguars fan Logan Nugent. After Nugent’s fiance, Amber Phommathep, said he couldn’t hang up jerseys of Lawrence, Josh Allen and Myles Jack unless the former acknowledged him, the rookie first-overall pick gave his approval on Twitter.
“It went crazy from then,” Nugent told ESPN’s Mike DiRocco. “My phone hasn’t stopped buzzing since 7 p.m. [Thursday] night.”
Allen initially responded to the tweet urging Lawrence to reply, and a former Jags player got in the mix as well when current Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell said Nugent shouldn’t put the jerseys in the living room.
“They don’t have to do stuff like that [respond to fans’ tweets], and I know they get tweets like this all day,” Nugent said. “It’s awesome.”
The couple are big-time Jaguars fans who took their engagement photos in custom No. 21 jerseys that said “NUGENT” on the back. Now, it seems their home decor will reflect that, much to Phommathep’s chagrin.
