There isn’t a single Jacksonville Jaguars fan out there who doesn’t wish they could go back in time and set up a better situation for 2021 No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence, who had to push through one of the most dysfunctional situations in NFL history. That also applies to the man that drafted him in general manager Trent Baalke, who watched what Lawrence and the Jags had to endure first-hand, too.
However, the Jags started their process of correcting a huge mistake last December when the team fired coach Urban Meyer. Then in February, they found someone to replace him in Doug Pederson, who is a Super Bowl-winning coach with a significant amount of experience in the NFL.
So far, Pederson has done a good job with veering the Jags away from the toxic culture it endured last season. That’s allowed Lawrence to focus on football, and it’s showing, according to Baalke.
