Where Did Former Clemson Star Trevor Lawrence Land in NFL QB Ranking?

Former Clemson Tigers star quarterback Trevor Lawrence is one of the better success stories from the football program over the last 10-plus years.

After winning the National Championship with the Tigers in 2018, Lawrence has gone on to be one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. Lawrence was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he has been the starter for the team since.

Since the Jaguars took Lawrence in the draft, the team has made the playoffs twice, with Jacksonville going 1-2 overall. The Jaguars were one of the best teams in the AFC last season, and the group has started off very well in 2026 again.

So far, the Jaguars are 4-2 through the first few weeks of the 2026 season, with Lawrence leading this team. Jacksonville has its eyes set on a Super Bowl appearance, but there is a long way to go for the former Clemson star to get them there.

In a new quarterback ranking around the league entering Week 8 of the season, Lawrence came in at No. 7, dropping one spot. NFL.com analyst Nick Shook put together the ranking of every quarterback in the league coming into the week.

Lawrence and the Jaguars are coming off a bye week, with the team playing as one of the better teams in the league. The signal-caller has looked much better over the last two seasons, playing under head coach Liam Coen.

So far this year, Lawrence has thrown for 1,480 yards with 14 touchdowns and four interceptions, leading this offense forward. The veteran has showed better decision-making and poise of late, leading to the Jaguars winning more games.

Lawrence gives the Jaguars a chance to win each week out, and he was seen as the savior of the franchise when originally drafted. While the Jaguars haven't gone far in the playoffs just yet, there is still time for Lawrence to lead this team to the promise land.

With Coen and Lawrence working together, this group does feel like they could win the Super Bowl at some point. Lawrence has proven that he is a winner in the league, and he has been working to get this team even farther.

For now, the former Clemson star will keep going, with the Tigers faithful keeping close tabs on his success. Lawrence was a fan favorite at Clemson, and even though he's in the NFL, that hasn't changed.
