Lawrence led the Jaguars to an 8-3 start in 2023 but he battled a concussion and ankle and shoulder injuries over the final six weeks of the season and the team went 1-5 down the stretch and missed the playoffs. The Jaguars selected Lawrence first overall in 2021. He struggled as a rookie under head coach Urban Meyer -- who was fired after only 13 games -- and finished with a league-high 17 interceptions. Lawrence improved under head coach Doug Pederson, throwing for 4,113 yards and 25 touchdowns with only eight interceptions in 2022. The Jaguars started the season 3-7 but went 6-1 in the last two months and won the AFC South.
Lawrence has 60 turnovers in his first three seasons, which includes an NFL-high 21 in 2023 . There are only 11 quarterbacks who have made their debut since 1978 that have turned the ball over more in their first three seasons, per the Elias Sports Bureau. That list includes three Hall of Famers -- Warren Moon , Peyton Manning and John Elway .
