Key Lawrence, DB
It’s not hyperbole to suggest Key Lawrence has the highest ceiling of anyone in the Oklahoma secondary. He took a while to get adjusted to the Speed D scheme but he’s starting to play instinctive, attacking football in the absence of Delarrin Turner-Yell.
Lawrence will likely give way back to Turner-Yell when Yell is healthy but there’s no reason Lawrence should leave the field with the way he’s starting to play. Rumors have swirled about Lawrence getting looks at cornerback this week and while that’s interesting to say the least, the most important thing is Lawrence deserves to be on the field right now.
There’s no definitive answer as to who should give up snaps but Fields is the suggestion I would lean to as Delarrin Turner-Yell offers you more at strong safety. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Lawrence this week. If he sees the field, there’s a good bet, he’s going to continue making plays.
