Trevor Lawrence has been the least Checkdown Charlie of all NFL quarterbacks over the last two years.
While the Jacksonville Jaguars may not have the most vertical-based offense in the NFL, one thing has become clear in the two years under Doug Pederson: Trevor Lawrence is going to find his shots.
According to Pro Football Focus, Lawrence actually leads the NFL in one critical stat since the firing of disgraced head coach Urban Meyer. In the last two years, Lawrence has the lowest rate of checkdown passes of any quarterback in the NFL with at least 300 attempts. In that span, Lawrence has dropped back 1,282 times and has attempted 48 checkdowns at a 3.74% rate.
With the additions of two-big play receivers in Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Jr., the chance for Lawrence to continue to place a focus on pushing the ball downfield certainly remains in 2024 and moving forward.
