Entering his fifth NFL season in 2025, Trevor Lawrence has a lot to prove, says one national outlet.

Pro Football Focus (PFF) named 10 NFL players with the most to prove in 2025, and Lawrence is on the list.

Lawrence signed a five-year, $275 million contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars prior to the 2024 season, and there continues to be high expectations for the former Clemson star/Jaguars franchise quarterback.

Of course, Lawrence was labeled as a “generational prospect” coming out of Clemson, and he has experienced success in his young NFL career – especially in 2022, when he earned Pro Bowl honors and led the Jaguars to the AFC South division title, as well as an incredible comeback victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC Wild Card playoffs.

However, Lawrence has also battled his share of adversity while struggling with inconsistent play, turnovers and injuries. Last season, he completed 60.6 percent of his passes for 2,045 yards with 11 touchdown passes and seven interceptions in 10 games before being placed on injured reserve following his shoulder injury and concussion. He underwent surgery back in December to repair the AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder.

Here’s what PFF’s Zoltán Buday had to say about Lawrence heading into the upcoming campaign:

Lawrence is coming off his worst season since his rookie campaign. He ranked in the top 15 among NFL quarterbacks in PFF overall grade in his second and third seasons in the league but placed only 19th in 2024 (76.8). That came on the heels of his contract extension last offseason, which made him one of the highest-paid players in the NFL but simultaneously put him under pressure to play at a higher level.

On top of his performance not matching his previous seasons, 2024 was also the first instance of Lawrence missing significant time due to injuries. While the Clemson product reached at least 1,000 snaps in each of his first three seasons, he logged only 536 last season.

There are plenty of question marks surrounding the Jaguars’ roster, but Lawrence does not lack playmakers. He should have one of the most exciting young wide receiver duos in the NFL in Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter, which should help him get his career back on track in his first season under head coach Liam Coen.

Since being drafted with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Lawrence has completed 63.3 percent of his passes for 13,815 yards and 69 touchdowns with 46 interceptions in 60 games over his first four NFL seasons.

Lawrence landed at No. 16 in PFF’s quarterback rankings ahead of the 2025 NFL season and was grouped in Tier 3b, which PFF described as “solid starters, but they need more help.”

Lawrence was also recently pegged by PFF as a bounce-back candidate going into 2025.
