The post Jaguars rumors: Trevor Lawrence \u2018isn\u2019t the player\u2019 scouts expected coming out of Clemson<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Week 3 rapidly approaching, Field Yates and the rest of the panel on ESPN\u2019s NFL Live used some time on their Wednesday show to discuss two quarterbacks who are about to duke it out as part of a special AFC showdown: CJ Stroud of the Houston Texans<\/a> and Trevor Lawrence<\/a> of the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n

With just one win between the two teams and plenty of questions abound, Yates noted that while Stroud has had a few questionable quarters to start the year, he\u2019s more concerned with the play of Lawrence, as he\u2019s had five to showcase why he was the first overall pick in the draft, and really hasn\u2019t made good on that potential<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo at CJ Stroud, I\u2019m willing to give a bit more benefit of the doubt than Trevor because it\u2019s the beginning of year three for Trevor, for CJ, excuse me. Trevor Lawrence, like when it\u2019s year five and we still don\u2019t know how good a player is, at least I don\u2019t know how good a player is. That leads me to believe that more likely than not, he has not, he is not the player that we expected him to be coming out of college when he was supposed to totally reshape the Jaguars franchise and become one of the best players in the NFL sooner rather than later,\u201d Yates noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s some big-time throws on Trevor\u2019s tape throughout his career. Where\u2019s the consistency? Like, at some point, you have to be the straw that serves the drink. You\u2019re like an instant top 12 offense if you were on the field. They\u2019ve been so far from that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since coming into the NFL as the first overall pick out of Clemson, Lawrence has won 24 of the 63 games he\u2019s appeared in, throwing 78 touchdowns versus 54 interceptions while leading his team to the playoffs exactly once in 2022. While he has turned in some plays, quarters, and even games where he looked like a generational talent, the best prospect since Andrew Luck with a cannon for an arm, for the most part, Lawrence\u2019s ceiling remains a mystery, which isn\u2019t ideal considering he\u2019s currently signed to a five-year, $275 million extension<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Can Lawrence turn it all around? Sure, he will certainly have the opportunities to do so, but until that happens, Fields is right to assert that Lawrence simply hasn\u2019t looked like the player scouts expected coming out of Clemson.<\/p>\n
