Trevor Lawrence can be international face of NFL with Jacksonville Jaguars UK agreement

NFL UK boss Henry Hodgson believes Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence can step up to become an international face of the league following Tom Brady’s retirement.

The Jaguars are essentially London’s adopted NFL franchise, with the team set to enjoy their 10th season crossing the Atlantic to play in regular season matches. However, their turf is now somewhat contested following the exciting implementation of International Home Marketing Areas (IHMA) around the world.

This means six teams who already hold strong fanbases in the United Kingdom have been assigned to the region: the Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers, New York Jets, Minnesota Vikings, and Jaguars. Amid a year of exciting international growth, NFL UK general manager Hodgson hopes to see Lawrence continue to develop - alongside other stars on the HMA teams - to become the face of the NFL on an international basis.
