The Rich Eisen Show’s Chris Brockman recently listed who he sees as the top NFL players ready to become superstars in 2025.

Former Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence was named as one of those players who could make the leap to “superstar” status this season.

Brockman counted down his list of the top five NFL players poised to become superstars, with Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride at No. 5, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin at No. 4, Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. at No. 3, Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson at No. 2 and Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love topping the list.

Brockman then gave one more name to “keep an eye on” – Lawrence, who is now entering his fifth season with the Jacksonville Jaguars after being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

“It’s finally his time to take the leap to become a superstar in the NFL,” Brockman said.

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 in early December after his shoulder injury and concussion.

The Jaguars are expecting to take a major step forward on offense this year with new head coach/offensive guru Liam Coen at the helm, working with Lawrence and offensive weapons like Brian Thomas Jr. and 2025 No. 2 overall draft pick Travis Hunter.

“Trevor Lawrence – I’m not saying it’s ‘last chance saloon,’ but we’re getting close to being out of excuses and chances for Trevor,” Brockman added. “Brian Thomas Jr. had his massive breakout last year. That guy’s going to be a superstar wide receiver soon, and of course, the giant draft day trade for Travis Hunter. Offensive coach, Liam Coen.

“It’s really an opportunity now for Trevor Lawrence to take that leap that we all thought was coming when he was the first overall pick. We’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting for Trevor to have his moment, and I think this is the year that he could finally do it.”

Entering the 2025 season, Lawrence has played in 62 games for the Jags, including two playoff games, and he’s started all of those contests. His record as Jacksonville’s quarterback is currently 23-39, including the postseason, after he finished his Clemson career 34-2 as a starter.

Over his first four NFL seasons, Lawrence has completed 63.3 percent of his passes for 13,815 yards and 69 touchdowns with 46 interceptions. The Jaguars signed Lawrence to a massive five-year, $275 million contract extension prior to the 2024 season.
