Trevor Lawrence continues to earn recognition as one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks, even if he’s not quite in the league’s highest tier just yet.
CBS Sports placed the former Clemson standout in its Tier 2 group of “borderline stars” in its latest quarterback rankings, pointing to another strong season in Jacksonville despite the instability he’s faced early in his career.
“Lawrence has endured quite a bit of turbulence in Jacksonville, including playing for three different head coaches,” CBS Sports’ Bryan DeArdo wrote. “While he’ll no longer have Travis Etienne Jr. by his side, Lawrence will have some new pass catchers and an improved offensive line at his disposal.”
Lawrence is coming off one of the best seasons of his career. He finished fifth in NFL MVP voting after throwing for 4,007 yards, the third time in four years he’s eclipsed the 4,000-yard mark, while setting a Jaguars franchise record with 38 total touchdowns.
His strongest stretch came in December, when he earned AFC Offensive Player of the Month honors after leading Jacksonville to a perfect 5-0 record. During that run, he completed 105 of 165 passes for 1,371 yards and 13 touchdowns with a 113.5 passer rating, while adding 124 rushing yards and four more scores on the ground.
