Earlier this month, Jacksonville Jaguars star quarterback Trevor Lawrence received a massive new contract to keep him with the team for the foreseeable future. And it seems Lawrence is optimistic about his future with the team for one big reason: everything he’s experienced up to this point.
During a recent interview with SI.com’s Albert Breer. Trevor Lawrence talked about how he has learned and grown from everything he has experienced throughout his career up to this point, even the mistakes and the not-so-good parts.
“I think that experience is probably the best teacher,” Lawrence said. “Everyone says that the most important thing is the ‘why’ that you learn from other people’s mistakes. I think that’s true. But I also think there are some things you have to go through. And you learn a lot when you experience them. I’ve been through all the mixes. A terrible season. A season that started very badly and ended very well, which was 2022. And last year was the opposite, it started very well and ended very badly.
“I’ve experienced all those elements and I understand how this game works. The NFL is just different. It’s a long season; It’s really about who plays better in December, January, February, not September, October and November. You have to be playing your best at the right time, at the end of the year. I think I have a better perspective on all of that. I would say that is the most important thing.”
Lawrence joined the Jaguars in 2021 as the No. 1 overall pick and has since developed into a polished veteran. We’ll have to see how he performs next season, the first in his new contract.
