One of the perks of the Jacksonville Jaguars having Doug Pederson as their coach is that he’s not only played the game but has done so at the most important position on the field. That’s a big plus for former No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence, who is heading into his second season after dealing with a dysfunctional situation last season under Urban Meyer.
When meeting with the media Monday, Lawrence said Pederson’s experience as a coach and player has been huge and has been able to provide several tips to help him take the next step.
“Oh yeah. I think you can always tell the way a coach communicates with a quarterback because he’s been in my shoes,” Lawrence said. “Quarterback’s an interesting position. It’s not a big rah-rah, chew somebody out. I mean you have some coaches that are like that but for me, that’s just not what I need. I can have a conversation and [Head Coach] Coach [Doug] Pederson’s great about that.
