Jacksonville Jaguars’ Bold Prediction – Trevor Lawrence Exceeds 5,000 Passing Yards

A big reason that the Jaguars surged to the AFC South title down the stretch was a big leap from Trevor Lawrence. After a lost rookie year thanks to inept coaching from Urban Meyer, Lawrence improved rapidly in his second season under the tutelage of new head coach Doug Pederson.

The final totals saw Lawrence throw for over 4,100 yards with 25 touchdowns against just eight interceptions, numbers good enough to help Lawrence earn an invite to the Pro Bowl Games. Most young quarterbacks take a big leap forward from Year 1 to Year 2 but Lawrence is poised to do this in Year 3 since his rookie year was essentially a wash thanks to Meyer.

Jacksonville has put a strong supporting cast around Lawrence that will improve even more with the return of Calvin Ridley from a year-long suspension. Ridley was on the verge of becoming a No. 1 receiver with the Atlanta Falcons prior to the suspension and adds a true game-breaker that Lawrence didn’t have a year ago.

Expect Pederson to turn more of his offense over to Lawrence this season and get rewarded with a 5,000 yard passing season. Lawrence showed a bit of why he was the most hyped quarterback prospect since Andrew Luck last season and will give the world a bigger glimpse of his full potential in 2023.
