This season, Jacksonville Jaguars star quarterback Trevor Lawrence is heading into his third NFL season after a breakout second season with the team. And it sounds like he’s approaching this season with a lot of confidence.
During a recent interview, Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson addressed the confidence of Trevor Lawrence, making it clear that he thinks his young quarterback should be confident in his abilities.
“The biggest thing that I’ve seen with Trevor, now going on two years, from where we had him a year ago in the offseason to today, just his confidence is incredible. It’s off the charts,” Pederson said in his Monday press conference according to Pro Football Talk. “He’s put the past behind him, he’s focused on the future, and really embraced this opportunity with this football team. The confidence level with him is extremely high, as it should be.”
Lawrence made great strides last season after a somewhat lackluster rookie season given the high expectations from the former No. 1 overall pick. But Pederson praised the way that Lawrence has learned and improved.
“It’s fun to be around guys like that and young quarterbacks like that, again, as we’ve said, he’s a sponge,” Pederson said. “He wants to learn. He wants to get better. Obviously, he’s not where he wants to be or where we want him to be because we can always get better and improve. I think his overall leadership ability has really been the bright spot for him heading into training camp this year.”
We’ll have to see how Lawrence performs this season.
