How Trevor Lawrence’s Viral AI Grill Became a Real Locker-Room Gift

A covert 3-D dental scan arranged by confidants let a Jacksonville jeweler craft a perfect fit.

Overview

  • Former Clemson teammate Darien Rencher coordinated the surprise with Marissa Lawrence, the quarterback’s mother, and the Jaguars’ social team after the AFC South–clinching win.
  • Rencher said Trevor Lawrence’s dentist in Cartersville, Georgia, overnighted 3-D scans that the jeweler used to match the quarterback’s teeth without tipping him off.
  • Cornerback Jarrian Jones delivered the grill to Lawrence in the locker room as cameras captured the postgame celebration.
  • The piece was made by Teezie of The Premium Jewelry Company, who says it features about 3.5 natural VS stones and that a typical custom build takes four to five days after a brief impression.
  • Interest surged after the reveal, according to the jeweler, and Jacksonville Beach bakery Cinotti’s quickly released a themed cookie riffing on the viral moment.
