Whereas he has proven promise in his first three professional seasons, he nonetheless has a lot of room for enchancment, as does his workforce.

Wright identified a stretch from Week 9 in 2022 to Week 13 final season through which Lawrence put up robust numbers for a Jaguars workforce that was on the rise.
As he began to surge late in 2022, they clawed their manner into the playoffs, the place they overcame a 27-0 deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers within the Wild Card spherical.
An ankle and shoulder harm slowed Lawrence down late final season, and in consequence, his general manufacturing dipped a bit in comparison with 2022.
Maybe some would argue that he doesn’t fairly have the kind of offensive weapons he wants to achieve his full potential proper now.
Christian Kirk is a stable broad receiver, however he isn’t a real WR1, whereas Calvin Ridley left this offseason after giving Jacksonville 1,016 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns, which led them in each classes.
It isn’t a given they’ll return to the playoffs in 2024, particularly given the enhancements another groups throughout the convention have made, but when Lawrence does turn into elite, maybe he’ll carry them to the postseason.
