Voters noted Lawrence appeared more confident last season under Liam Coen's fiery coaching style, which allowed confidence to emerge that was not present under Doug Pederson. However, an offensive coordinator cautioned: "He is going to flash for windows where you go, 'Oh, I think he is becoming the guy,' but you are not in Year 2 anymore. This is just kind of who you are — streaky, up and down. If everyone around him does their job at a high level, he has a chance, but he is never going to be able to carry anything for extended periods of time."PositiveProjectionAug 4, 2026
Lawrence jumped back into Tier 2 after two years in Tier 3, making him the highest-rated quarterback in the AFC South. Current GMs and offensive coaches were higher on him than other voters. A former head coach said "if there's anybody that's between a 2 and a 3, I would say him right now," and "if he does it again this year, I could see putting him as a standing 2." An exec noted "Trevor took a huge jump last year" and "I'd say he was a 2 going to a 1 at the end of the year."PositiveRoleAug 4, 2026
Voters thought Lawrence appeared much more confident last season under second-year coach Liam Coen. An offensive coach explained: "Liam is a fiery guy, and it allows that to come out of Trevor, who has never been that. Doug Pederson was a different style guy, so you were not going to get that out of Trevor." The coaching change appears to have unlocked a more aggressive version of Lawrence's play.PositiveProjectionAug 4, 2026
Lawrence climbed back into Tier 2 after two years in the third tier, making him the highest-rated quarterback in the AFC South. Current GMs and offensive coaches were higher on him than other voters. An exec stated: "Trevor took a huge jump last year. I'd say he was a 2 going to a 1 at the end of the year. You saw some things that you kind of thought you saw in the draft." A former head coach said: "Man, if there's anybody that's between a 2 and a 3, I would say him right now. If he does it again this year, I could see putting him as a standing 2."
