After a challenging 2024 season, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is demonstrating renewed vigor during the offseason as he prepares for his 2025 season comeback. Progress observed during Training Camp and preseason games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints reflects a promising turnaround for the franchise quarterback.
Influence of Coaching Staff and Fellow Quarterbacks on Lawrence’s Development
Following a practice session at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Lawrence shared insights into how the offensive staff and other quarterbacks have contributed to his preparation. He emphasized the value of guidance from seasoned players and coaches who have encountered diverse defensive schemes throughout their careers.
“Just people who have been around it,”
Lawrence said.
Obviously, players, coaches who have coached it. I think all of that helps because they’ve seen all the different looks. Even talking about footwork stuff, they’re so dialed in on what we want. We’ve seen kind of everyone do it and what works. So, there are a lot of great coaching points they can give me in certain concepts of what to look for, what to see, especially week to week.’
Although preseason games do not fully replicate regular-season intensity, the coaching strategy remains beneficial for Lawrence and his team. Coordinators Liam Coen and Grant Udinski have utilized game-day meetings to simulate defensive plans, helping Lawrence prepare mentally and speed up his decision-making process.
We’re not game planning like normal, but we’re still trying to a little bit against these certain defenses. Just talking to Liam and Grant in those meetings before the game about what the defense could do, what we’re looking for, helping me play faster.
Lawrence Responds to Renewed Energy from Coaching Staff and Teammates
Lawrence expressed enthusiasm about the elevated standards his coaches have introduced this offseason, noting a strong focus on effort, attitude, and daily preparation. This heightened commitment, he believes, is essential for improved performance during the regular season.
Definitely. There’s an energy for sure. There’s an energy and there’s a standard being set of, not just the way you perform and play, but the way you come in every day, the way you practice, what you show up with, the energy you show up with every day on the field.
I think that’s something where we’ve taken some huge steps of growth, and we just have to continue to press the issue on that because there’s no substitute for that, and your preparation sets you up to perform on Sunday, and I think more and more guys are getting that understanding, and our practices are getting better. We just have to keep bringing the juice every day.
Outlook: Renewed Drive Sparks Hope for Jaguars’ Success in Duval
With Lawrence and his teammates bringing heightened energy and better preparation into practices and games, the Jacksonville Jaguars may soon see the winning results their fans desire. The 2025 season stands as an opportunity for Lawrence to reestablish himself as a franchise leader while capitalizing on the momentum gained during the offseason.
