Jaguars HC Liam Coen on QB Trevor Lawrence: 'So Much Room' To Keep Improving

One year into the job, Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen thinks that the sky is the limit for quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

"Going into the process — from watching tape — I was like, ‘Alright, this dude is tough,’" Coen said about Lawrence in an interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Monday. "I do think he's tough. He takes shots, gets up, doesn't say a word, has played hurt, has missed time. [He previously had] four new systems, multiple different head coach situations, [offensive coordinators], whatever it is. You go throughout the season, he doesn't miss a single practice, doesn't miss a single throw in practice, played the whole season. 

"Obviously, [as] an MVP finalist [and] Comeback Player of the Year finalist, [he] did some great things. There's so much room to continue to improve, and I think that's what we're excited about attacking."

Last season, Lawrence totaled 4,007 passing yards, a career-high 29 passing touchdowns — good for fifth in the NFL — 12 interceptions and a 91.0 passer rating, while completing 60.9% of his passes. He also rushed for 359 yards and nine touchdowns, which were each career highs. Moreover, Lawrence ranked fourth among quarterbacks with 29 "big-time throws," according to Pro Football Focus.

After owning a mere 79.4 passer rating and completing just 59.8% of his passes through Jacksonville's first 11 games, Lawrence finished the regular season in style, totaling 1,600 passing yards, 15 passing touchdowns, one interception and a 113.2 passer rating across the ensuing six contests, while completing 63.0% of his passes.

In all, Jacksonville's offense was sixth in the NFL in points (27.9 per game), 11th in total yards (337.4 per game), 12th in passing yards (222.3 per game) and 20th in
