Lawrence had an elite Week 1 performance with 18/23 completions for 245 yards and 4 touchdowns with 0 interceptions and a 150.6 passer rating. The source notes that had it not been for mammoth games by Caleb Williams or Tyler Shough, Lawrence might have had the best quarterbacking day in the league. His throws were layered beautifully, he looked completely in control, and the offense moved at will; he was sacked just once and was turnover-free. The source credits head coach Liam Coen's intentional scripting work earlier in the week for the strong start.NegativeMatchupSep 13, 2026
Jaguars captain Trevor Lawrence is preparing for a Week 2 matchup against Denver after Jacksonville's dominant 34-10 Week 1 win over Cleveland. Lawrence emphasized the need to turn the page and execute another strong game plan, acknowledging the challenge ahead at Mile High.PositiveProjectionSep 13, 2026
Lawrence completed 18 of 23 attempts for 245 yards and four touchdowns without an interception, finishing with a career-best 150.6 passer rating. He scored on Jacksonville's first two possessions and looked completely in command of the offense, making Cleveland's defense look lost for long stretches. The source notes he finished 2025 playing some of the best football of his career and on Sunday looked less like a quarterback hoping to prove last season was sustainable and more like one who knows exactly what he is now, presenting a frightening prospect for the rest of the AFC.PositiveProjectionSep 13, 2026
Lawrence put together a career day with 18/23 for 245 yards, 4 touchdowns, 0 turnovers, and a 150.6 passer rating; by 3 minutes into the third quarter he had already accumulated four passing touchdowns with a near-perfect passing rating while nursing a blowout lead, demonstrating elite efficiency and command of the offense.PositiveProjectionSep 13, 2026

Lawrence expects the Browns' new defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg to introduce scheme wrinkles in Week 1, particularly on third down, red zone, and passing situations; he anticipates some continuity from prior schemes but plans to adjust on the fly to new defensive looks.PositiveProjectionSep 11, 2026
Trevor Lawrence leads all Week 1 passers in yards/attempt. After the Jaguars' Week 10 loss to the Texans, first-time head coach Liam Coen implored Lawrence to 'let it rip,' and as offensive pieces clicked into place, Lawrence refound himself. Jacksonville won eight straight games. His statistical improvement from Weeks 11-18 was dramatic: air yards/attempt improved from 8.8 to 10.2, yards/attempt from 6.4 to 8.0, passer rating from 79.7 to 102.5, PFF grade from 71.2 to 90.9, and big-time throw rate from 3.4% to 6.9%. Total touchdowns increased from 10 to 25. Now entering his sixth pro season, Lawrence is set to not just reach expectations but reset them. His passing over/unders on FanDuel are set at 236.5 yards and 1.5 touchdowns. His rushing prop of 16.5 yards is tempting; Lawrence had 16+ rushing yards in 10 of his final 12 games last season.PositiveProjectionSep 11, 2026
Dillon Appleman expects Trevor Lawrence to have mastered Liam Coen's offense by Week 1, with the system becoming muscle memory; Lawrence enters the 2026 season with higher expectations than any prior season and must demonstrate effortlessness in the passing game to meet them. Multiple analysts project the Jaguars to win the AFC South and make the playoffs, contingent on Lawrence's health and continued excellence in Coen's system.PositiveProjectionSep 9, 2026
Trevor Lawrence has +1800 odds to win MVP according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The source projects that Lawrence could produce more yards and touchdowns than any other passer but notes he may not receive the necessary narrative push for the award unless the Jaguars clinch the AFC No. 1 seed with a no-doubt-about-it regular season performance.PositiveRoleSep 4, 2026
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen praised Trevor Lawrence's work ethic and preparation, stating "This guy works extremely hard. I don't know if he gets enough credit for his preparation, the way that he goes through a game plan." The source notes Coen has seemingly unlocked Lawrence, with the best potentially yet to come in 2026 and beyond.PositiveDepth ChartAug 30, 2026
Trevor Lawrence retained as the Jaguars' primary QB on the 53-man roster; the team upgraded at the position by moving from Nick Mullens to Quinn Ewers as the backup, signaling confidence in Lawrence as the franchise starter heading into the 2026 season.NegativeRoleAug 26, 2026
Lawrence ranked 2nd among all passers in rushing touchdowns (5) and rushing 1st downs (20) during the Jaguars' 8-0 run to cap their 2025 regular season. Offensive coordinator Grant Udinski and head coach Liam Coen emphasize that Lawrence must better simulate scramble situations in practice to prepare receivers for off-schedule plays in games, particularly in the red zone where 90% of top touchdowns are off-schedule. Lawrence acknowledges the challenge of making practice reps feel real and is committed to taking every opportunity to get out of the pocket so receivers can react and get open, noting that if scrambles aren't worked in practice, receivers won't be ready in Week 1.PositiveRoleAug 20, 2026
Lawrence completed all three redzone attempts for touchdowns in joint practice against Carolina Panthers, demonstrating surgical precision in tight spaces. Head coach Liam Coen attributed success to Lawrence's scrambling ability and off-schedule throws, noting that 90 percent of top redzone touchdowns around the league are off-schedule plays where the quarterback buys time and finds windows. Coen emphasized: "When we got better in the red zone last year was when Trevor started using his legs," and Lawrence showed this again in practice with a couple of scrambles and off-schedule throws despite the tight redzone constraints.PositiveValueAug 20, 2026
Top quarterback target after Herbert at ADP 88. The source ranks Lawrence as the first choice among late-round QB targets following Herbert, ahead of Brock Purdy (ADP 103) and Bo Nix (ADP 110).PositiveProjectionAug 19, 2026
With two tight ends on the field last season, Trevor Lawrence completed 58 of 89 passes for 596 yards, nine touchdowns, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 118.0—the fourth-highest in the NFL among quarterbacks with at least 50 attempts in 2TE personnel. Only Josh Allen, Jared Goff, and Dak Prescott fared better, suggesting Lawrence's efficiency in multi-tight-end packages supports offensive coordinator Coen's potential shift toward 12 and 13 personnel formations.PositiveRoleAug 14, 2026
Mina Kimes identified three key offensive changes in the Jaguars' second half that benefited Lawrence: (1) Meyers opened up the middle, improving EPA/play between the numbers from 27th pre-trade to 3rd post-trade; (2) Lawrence's average depth of target jumped to 3rd league-wide; (3) offensive penalties dropped from 1st in weeks 1-9 to 12th after the trade.PositiveProjectionAug 14, 2026
Mina Kimes highlighted Trevor Lawrence's second-half 2025 season performance as MVP-caliber, noting he ranked 3rd in EPA/db, 5th in QBR, 5th in success rate, and tied for 1st in explosive plays.

Lawrence had a quiet opening before finding his rhythm as the session developed. He connected with Parker Washington twice during the third drive and was consistently accurate in the intermediate range (15 to 25-yard window) throughout the day. He had an early end zone pass toward Brian Thomas Jr. that nearly resulted in an interception, which head coach Liam Coen described as a communication and timing issue. Lawrence bounced back with a back-shoulder throw to Brian Thomas Jr. in the red zone for a touchdown.NegativeProjectionAug 4, 2026
The Athletic's anonymous 50-voter NFL survey placed Trevor Lawrence in Tier 2 ("Carries his team sometimes") with 26 votes, marking his second career Tier 2 appearance since 2022. His Tier 2 vote share has been volatile: 8% as a rookie, 66% in 2022, 36% in 2023, 20% in 2024, and 52% last season. However, Athletic subscribers ranked him more pessimistically: 62% placed him in Tier 3 ("Legit starter but needs a better run game or defense to win"), 30% in Tier 2, and just 2% in Tier 1. A former head coach noted "if there's anybody that's between a 2 and a 3, I would say him right now" and suggested he could earn a standing Tier 2 if he repeats last season's performance. An offensive coordinator characterized him as "streaky, up and down," implying inconsistency rather than sustained elite play.NegativeUsageAug 4, 2026
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence struggled during Day 6 practice, never finding a rhythm as the offense failed to click; the running game couldn't get anything going between the tackles, and Lawrence had passes go incomplete to Parker Washington, including one that went just past his fingertips on a deep crossing route. He was also wearing an arm sleeve on his throwing shoulder due to the high volume of throws.PositiveProjectionAug 2, 2026
Lawrence is having a strong camp, with Day 4 being his best individual session to date. His only blemishes were a drop by Jakobi Meyers on a deep ball and an overthrow of Brian Thomas Jr. on a sideline route. Everything else was sharp, decisive, and accurate. Multiple beat writers have noted that the offense is operating significantly ahead of where it was at this point in camp a year ago, and that trend continued on Day 4 with a heavier emphasis on the run game.PositiveProjectionJul 31, 2026

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw two of the more impressive throws of early camp on Thursday, including a deep ball, sideline throw to Parker Washington with cornerback Montaric Brown in coverage that displayed clean timing and trust built over the offseason, and a deep sideline route where Lawrence beat coverage to the spot with an exceptionally-timed throw, with Washington getting both feet down inbounds in tight quarters.NegativeProjectionJul 29, 2026
Franchise quarterback had an uncharacteristic sloppy Day 1, admitting 'I didn't think I had the best day today necessarily,' with an overthrow intercepted by Eric Murray and several drops from skill-position players. However, Lawrence expressed confidence in his health and mechanics, stating 'I feel really healthy. I feel like I'm in great shape. I think I'm throwing it as good as ever.' He emphasized strong chemistry with teammates and expects the offense to pick up where it left off in 2025, noting that 'we should be able to do that, and we should do that day one.' Lawrence acknowledged that not every day will be perfect and that the defense will have strong days too, but emphasized the importance of operating smoothly, executing checks and changes at the line, and playing clean football for plays to come.PositiveProjectionJul 29, 2026
Franchise quarterback acknowledged Day 1 was not his best performance (dropped passes, some inaccuracy) but expressed strong optimism about offensive continuity and his own health. Lawrence stated he "threw it well" overall, feels "really healthy" and "in great shape," and is "throwing it as good as ever." He emphasized excellent chemistry with receivers and confidence the offense can pick up where it left off in 2025. Lawrence expects the team to operate smoothly with proper execution of huddle calls, line-of-scrimmage checks, and clean football, noting that defensive pressure (like Day 1 showed) will happen but shouldn't derail offensive rhythm.PositiveRoleJul 27, 2026

Trevor Lawrence ranked #62 on the NFL's Top-100 Players of 2026 list, reflecting strong performance down the stretch in the 2025 season.PositiveProjectionJul 22, 2026
Veteran AFC offensive coach evaluation: Lawrence 'has controlled his turnovers and just has a better understanding of what defenses are trying to do against him.' Coach notes he 'plays better ball when the offensive infrastructure and personnel around him set him up for success instead of asking him to do everything on your own,' and credits Liam Coen with 'giving him the answers to the test pre-snap' in Year 1. Received votes in ESPN's seventh-annual top-10 positional rankings but did not make top-10.PositiveProjectionJul 22, 2026
The source frames Trevor Lawrence's 2025 season as a potential MVP-caliber campaign under new offensive coordinator Liam Coen and head coach Grant Udunski. Lawrence carries +1600 MVP odds at FanDuel Sportsbook, reflecting elevated expectations for the Jaguars' offense to make a significant leap forward.

Trevor Lawrence has recorded 127 regular season 'big time throws' since 2021, ranking him sixth among all quarterbacks over that span; this statistical highlight underscores his ability to make high-leverage plays and supports confidence in his performance trajectory.PositiveValueJul 22, 2026
QB Trevor Lawrence finished 2025 as QB4 (4,007 passing yards, 29 TDs, 9 rushing TDs) yet is priced at QB11 (pick 90, eighth round), representing genuine value for those who wait. Year-one proof of concept under Liam Coen system combined with national distrust creates an eighth-round discount. Post-bye week schedule is the easiest for QBs in 2026; early struggles could make him a week 4-5 trade candidate.
