After a turbulent rookie season after being selected No. 1 overall, Lawrence is being counted on to take a very big step in his development in his second year in the league. The first glimpse of how that looks comes in Sunday’s season opener at Washington.
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson with Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence on the sideline during the first half of an NFL preseason football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Saturday, Aug. 20, 2022, in Jacksonville, Fla. The Jaguars fanbase, coaching staff and the city are counting on it.
His work since the hire of Doug Pederson suggests that Lawrence is poised for a breakout sophomore season.“I think it’s just down to the player, who the player is and how willing he is to take the coaching and take the criticism, take the good, the bad, and work on his craft. That’s with any player, but in this case with Trevor, that’s what we’ve seen from all the way back in the spring, just the improvements he’s made from OTAs in May and June to now are tremendous,” Pederson said.
Lawrence said early in training camp that he wouldn’t have believed anyone if they told him that’s how his season would have gone. Pederson coached Carson Wentz with the Eagles and saw the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2016 improve significantly in his second season, putting himself in the MVP conversation before an injury ended his season.
