Former Clemson Star Trevor Lawrence Issues Strong Statement About Jaguars Future

Trevor Lawrence was on the Backyard Breaks podcast during the Jacksonville Jaguars' bye week and the former Clemson star issued a strong statement about his future with the Jaguars. 

“I firmly believe the best is yet to come,” Lawrence said. “I don’t want to play anywhere else.”

Lawrence spent three years at Clemson and established himself as a college football legend. He put up 10,098 passing yards, 90 passing touchdowns, 943 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns in 40 games. 

Lawrence won the 2020 ACC Offensive Player of the Year award and the Player of the Year award. In 2018, the superstar QB led Clemson to the championship over Alabama. 

In 2018, Lawrence led the ACC in touchdown passes (30). In 2019, he led the ACC in completion percentage and passing yards.

Then, in 2020, Lawrence led the ACC in completion percentage.

Lawrence is fourth in Clemson history in passing yards, tied for second with Deshaun Watson in passing touchdowns and fifth in completions.  

The Jaguars selected Lawrence with the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Lawrence is a one-time Pro Bowler in the NFL. He has 19,302 passing yards and 112 passing touchdowns. 

Jacksonville has only made the playoffs once in the Lawrence era, but Lawrence wants to spend his entire NFL career with the Jaguars. 

“This is home,” Lawrence said. “We started our family here. We love it.”

Lawrence was a winner at Clemson. Now, he's trying to lead the Jaguars to the promised land for the first time in franchise history. 

As of this writing, the Jaguars are 4-2. They are in first place in the AFC South. Lawrence has 1,480 passing yards and 14 passing touchdowns. He's thrown only four interceptions. 

Clemson fans are rooting for the Jaguars to make the playoffs this season and win the Super Bowl. Lawrence is already a legend in South Carolina. If he can lead the Jaguars to their first Super Bowl, Lawrence will be immortalized in Jacksonville.

Next up for the Jaguars is a matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Lawrence and Co. should easily win that game, as the Colts are 2-5 and enter this week on a three-game losing streak.
