Trevor Lawrence had his best year pushing the ball downfield in 2023. Can he do it again in 2024?
With two new deep threats outside, could 2024 be the best year yet for Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence as a vertical passer?
There seem to be a few things that indicate it could. Despite playing without a true ball-winner on the outside in 2023, Lawrence ranked No. 6 in terms of EPA on deep passes in 2023 according toNow, Lawrence can carry that ability into 2024 with one of the NFL's best big-play threats in Gabe Davis and first-round wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.
"Lawrence had his best year as a deep passer, recording 11 touchdowns, 34 first downs and a league-best 30 big-time throws. He set career highs in adjusted completion percentage , passer rating and turnover-worthy play rate on deep throws. Since entering the league in 2021, Lawrence ranks in the top five among quarterbacks in deep touchdowns , deep first downs and deep big-time throws .
"Obviously having Brian's length and speed was a big thing that was a strength of his through his college career. And then something Gabe has always brought," Jaguars offensive coordinator Press Taylor said last month. "You're not going to have a super high pass completion percentage if you're pushing the ball way down the field. We feel like we've done a good job of that when we've called the play-action stuff. We have been particularly explosive when you look at our numbers in terms of concepts we've called and opportunities to push the ball. We've done a good job with that.
