The Jacksonville Jaguars took a step in the right direction when they drafted Trevor Lawrence.

Lawrence drew comparisons to Peyton Manning and was deemed as the most complete quarterback prospect in recent years after dominating in High School and a nearly-perfect career at Clemson.

But the early results were kind of concerning, even if young QBs should always expect some growing pains in the first couple of years.

Now, after a season under HC Doug Pederson and taking a major leap forward, his coach believes he’s on the verge of joining the list of elite QBs in the league.

To be fair, it’s not like he was put in a good position when he first entered the league.

The Jaguars hired Urban Meyer as their HC, and he made a strong case for being not only the worst coach in franchise history but also one of the worst coaches the NFL had ever seen.

A toxic workplace culture, a poorly-built roster, flawed game-planning and decision-making, and a lack of leadership made it tough for Lawrence to be at his best in his first season.

The Jaguars won the AFC South division title in Pederson’s first year in charge of the team, and they look poised to go back-to-back this season as well.

Lawrence now plays for a quarterback’s coach and the physical traits, work ethic, and mechanics are all there, so there’s no reason to think he can’t be a legit MVP candidate in his third campaign in the National Football League.
