Doug Pederson and Press Taylor had plenty to say about Trevor Lawrence's growth entering his fourth year as the Jacksonville Jaguars' quarterback.
Since entering the league in 2021, Trevor Lawrence’s performance as a Jaguar has fluctuated dramatically. In just three years, the former No.1 overall draft pick has led the league in interceptions and also suited up for a Pro Bowl.
Despite battling injuries in 2023, Lawrence only threw for 97 less yards than he did in his Pro Bowl season. However, he threw six more interceptions and four less touchdowns. “He's becoming the vocal leader in the locker room, on the field, in meetings. He's engaging.” Pederson said.“You see the way he communicates with the guys around him. ‘Hey, I need you at this depth on this spot, at this timing. Because I'm getting to you as the fourth or third or first read, so I need a little bit more’, I think that's coming naturally for him” Taylor said.
Pederson became the Jaguars head coach after an abysmal 3-14 2021 season. Lawrence responded well to the coaching change, finishing among the league's top ten in passing yards and passing touchdowns.“When we got him three years ago, he was just learning our system and kind of quiet and just trying to go through the motions a little bit of just trying to adapt to us and get a feel for us. Now he's engaging and giving us ideas.
