Jacksonville Jaguars' quarterback Trevor Lawrence had a lot of success in Year 1 under Liam Coen. Along with the team finishing the year 13-4, Lawrence was an MVP finalist, while the Jaguars' offense was one of the most productive in football during the second half of the season.
As good as Year 1 was, Year 2 could provide Lawrence with another jumping-off point, specifically due to the continuity of being in Coen's offense for a second offseason.
Rather than learning an entirely new scheme, which was the case last offseason, Lawrence and the rest of the offense can build off of what has already been established.
"A lot calmer," Lawrence said after Monday's OTA practice. "A lot more confident in my progressions and what I know about the system. When I get on the grass, it's a lot less thinking. So I think that's the biggest thing: I can react, play faster, I can work on some different things in my game because the focus isn't as much on what to do or what's the play call and what are all the adjustments."
Lawrence continued, "I know all that stuff and still studying that and working on it because it's easy to forget little details, but as far as being able to work on more detailed things with the receivers, the communication with those guys as opposed to lining up and running the play, we're a lot further ahead this year. So it's a good feeling to be able to work on more stuff. Our installs have been a lot more in-depth as well because the guys come ready to go and they know the system."
Throughout offseason programs, Coen has been impressed with Lawrence's ability to take care of the football, along with his willingness to push the ball downfield. An area of emphasis this offseason for Lawrence has been on building his chemistry with his wideouts within this system.
The success that the Jaguars' offense had last season started with the work Lawrence did pre-snap to get that unit into advantageous looks. As the 2025 season went on and Lawrence got more comfortable operating in the offense, he improved significantly pre-snap.
Now, with more reps and comfort in the offense this offseason, this is another area where Coen has seen Lawrence take a step forward.
"I thought he did a really nice job of taking care of the football, running the whole operation, managing the protections, and some of the concepts on the field," Coen said during minicamp. "I'm pleased with Trevor's spring. Absolutely."
Not only for Lawrence but for the Jaguars team as a whole, a strong foundation was put in place last season, and now one of the goals in 2026 is finding ways to level up from there. The familiarity that comes with being in the same system for another year can play an important role in accomplishing that.
