Coming into his rookie season, fans were well aware of Trevor Lawrence’s ability to use his feet, but according to Next Gen Stats, he was elite in one category tied to mobility. That category was pressure evasion, where he ranked third in the league when looking at the quarterbacks who registered a significant amount of snaps.
The database had Lawrence down with a 23.2% evasion rate, which only ranked under Arizona Cardinals signal-caller Kyler Murray and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
