Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence sends strong message ahead of 2025 NFL season

Change is inevitable when results aren’t coming, and this is something the Jacksonville Jaguars are slowly beginning to experience heading into the 2025 NFL season. Despite this, Trevor Lawrence knows that, regardless of the new faces in the front office and coaching staff, the goal remains the same: to be contenders.

In a recent conversation with the media, the talented quarterback opened up about everything that has transpired recently within the franchise, acknowledging how difficult it is to compare what has left with what has arrived.

“It’s a lot different. I think it’s hard to compare. Just the energy and obviously younger guys. It’s just a different setup than we’ve had in the past, not to say one thing or the other, it’s just it is very different, and I think all around the coaching staff, too, is majority younger guys,” Lawrence said.

“But the one thing I will say is everyone is in alignment, and it’s the same message and it’s very clear of what’s being preached and what the culture is going to be about for our team, and the messaging is crystal clear, and I think that’s obviously important.”

Trevor Lawrence #16 of the Jacksonville Jaguars reacts after passing for a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers during the fourth quarter at EverBank Stadium on October 27, 2024 in Jacksonville, Florida.

“Even starting with James [Gladstone], haven’t spent as much time with him, but obviously I’ve gotten to talk to him and really enjoyed that. But from him, all the way through the whole staff, it’s all the same, and I think that’s a great starting point for us. Obviously, time will tell, and we have to win on the field. That’s most important, but I like where we’re at,” he finally concluded.

The main deficiency in Lawrence’s game

Achieving positive results in the NFL requires doubling down on the areas that need the most work. In this case, the Jaguars’ QB acknowledges that his main deficiency lies in his footwork — something Trevor Lawrence made abundantly clear when discussing the situation.

“I’ve known about my footwork over the years of playing that I felt like have been a little bit of a weakness, so there’s some things that we’ve talked about of just, what are those things?” Lawrence asked during the latest press conference, “What are we identifying as things to work on?”

“…the system is built around timing and tying your feet to your progression, and playing on-time and so it allows you to get backside, it allows you to get to checkdowns or whatever it may be, and you can feel comfortable playing on-time, and more than any system I’ve ever learned, it’s structured and based on that, and it’s so everything’s tied exactly to, alright this route is on this timing, so then your next progression is off of this footwork, off this timing, so it all ties in perfect,” the QB said.

Can the Jaguars be contenders this season?

With Trevor Lawrence continuing to develop as one of the top quarterbacks in the league and a revamped roster, Jacksonville has the potential to compete for a playoff spot in the AFC. However, their success will depend on the consistency of their offense, the improvement of their defense, and whether they can handle the pressure of competing with the league’s elite.
