- No 1 overall pick set to start in regular season opener
- Former Clemson star completes 11 of 12 passes against Dallas
Trevor Lawrence took the reps coach Urban Meyer said he needed, and now has a taste of success going into the regular season. Jacksonville’s rookie No 1 overall pick completed 11 of 12 passes for 139 yards and two scores in three possessions against Dallas backups, and the Jaguars beat the Cowboys 34-14 in a preseason finale on Sunday.
The former Clemson star had just one field goal to show for eight drives in his first two exhibition games. Lawrence changed that quickly four days after Meyer named him the starter, and a day after the Jaguars traded likely backup and fan favorite Gardner Minshew.
