Trevor Lawrence officially named Jaguars starting QB |
The suspense, if there was any, is over.
Trevor Lawrence is the Jacksonville Jaguars' starting quarterback, Jaguars coach Urban Meyer announced Wednesday. Lawrence started both of the Jaguars' preseason games so far and performed pretty well despite a struggling Jaguars offensive line. He beat out third-year player Gardner Minshew, who tallied 5,530 passing yards on 797 attempts over 23 games with 37 touchdowns to 11 interceptions the past two seasons. "I'm really excited for the opportunity; I'm grateful for it," Lawrence told reporters. "It doesn't really change anything, though. We still have the same task in front of us. We've got to get a lot better individually, as a team, as an offense. It brings some clarity, which is nice, going forward. But it really doesn't change much." "We're not making it bigger than it is. I'll be the starter. I have to play well. It doesn't change." Lawrence became Clemson's first-ever No. 1 NFL draft pick in April. The Jaguars open up by heading to play division rival Houston on Sept. 12 at 1 p.m. on CBS stations regionally. ?????? #DUUUVAL pic.twitter.com/uPhSGSii8P Urban Meyer officially names Trevor Lawrence the Jaguars starting Quarterback @wjxt4 pic.twitter.com/CWIAxXVlT1 QB1 pic.twitter.com/amW9hucq9Q .@BaldyNFL was impressed with @Trevorlawrencee's #NFLPreseason debut last week.
