Trevor Lawrence, the quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, is enjoying a typical, carefree offseason.

Naturally, Trevor Lawrence made a significant leap in 2022. However, this year should be even greater since Lawrence will be able to play football without thinking for the first time in his NFL career.

Due to the Urban Meyer fiasco, Lawrence’s first season was a complete failure, whereas 2022 was all about learning Doug Pederson’s scheme and how to just play quarterback in the NFL.

After going through the pre-draft process, Lawrence won’t have to worry about getting used to a new head coach (for the second time in two years) or learning yet another new offensive system.

With an offensive that ranked 10th in terms of scoring and points at the end of Lawrence’s second season, the Jaguars. It should be simpler to improve those stats given he won’t have to master a new scheme for the first time since he entered his last season at Clemson in 2020. And it also results in a spring and summer that are far less stressful.

Lawrence is attempting to learn a new system and new teammates without knowledge being poured into his brain for the first time in years. Lawrence can now only concentrate on football, which should frighten the NFL.

“It was definitely a different feel in this offseason, being able to unwind a little bit and then disconnect,” Lawrence said Monday after the Jaguars’ seventh organized team activity at TIAA Bank Field. “My rookie year didn’t really have an offseason going into the league. Then last year with the coaching change and all that, not sure what was going to happen, and then having Coach [Doug Pederson] hired and trying to learn the system and all that, [you] really don’t have much of an offseason because you’re trying to figure out what the next step is.”

Lawrence indicated that he thinks consistency will be a significant asset in the 2023 campaign.

“To have the same staff, to have a lot of the same players, to have that carryover, and the system [being the same], that feels good having that and being able to focus on little parts of my game instead of just making sure I got the installs and know the plan coming into practice,” he said. “Not having that stress of just learning the playbook, I can just really focus on my game and my mechanics.”
