Trevor Lawrence on Feeling the Pressure Heading into 2025

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence acknowledges the significant pressure he faces entering his fifth NFL season, heightened by his status as the 2021 first overall draft pick and the most important player on the offense. He recognizes that while he tries to treat every season the same, his career and the Jaguars' performance have been inconsistent so far, marked by significant organizational change including having his third different head coach.

Despite this turnover, Lawrence expresses strong confidence in the current situation under new head coach Liam Coen and his staff. He specifically praises the offensive system Coen brings, which is rooted in the schemes popularized by Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan. Lawrence believes this "tried and true" system, also run successfully by teams like the Minnesota Vikings, is excellent for quarterbacks and that the Jaguars have made great offensive changes this offseason.

Lawrence emphasizes that entering his fifth year represents a critical "now or never" moment in his career. He states it's time to start winning consistently and transform the Jaguars into a team seriously competing for the playoffs and Super Bowls, rather than being overlooked. He feels he is entering his prime years and needs to elevate his performance, viewing the team's offseason moves as a strong foundation for this push.
