Trevor Lawrence was drafted No. 1 overall by the Jaguars in the 2021 NFL Draft. Despite that and performing as the best QB in practice, the Jaguars coaching staff had hesitated to name Lawrence the team’s starting quarterback just yet.

Lawrence did start the first two preseason games but Urban Meyer has insisted he was still in a quarterback battle with third-year passer Gardner Minshew for the title heading into the 2021 regular season. Lawrence and Minshew—the incumbent starter—had split reps with the first-team offense through training camp to this point, with each trading off days running with the first team.
The Jaguars open the season against division rival, the Houston Texans. Between now and then, Lawrence will receive all the first team reps for the first time, but told local media the rest of his process remains much the same.
