Trevor Lawrence was so determined to show he's the same guy after signing a $275 million contract, he flew commercial. All it cost him was his golf clubs and other luggage, according to Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson. 

Lawrence became the highest-paid player in the NFL this offseason, tied with Joe Burrow, when he signed a five-year, $275 million deal with Jacksonville June 20 at the age of 24. 

Pederson said he hasn't tried to be involved in how Lawrence manages his money since he signed the deal during an interview on "The Rich Eisen Show" Tuesday.

But Pederson also gave a glimpse into how Lawrence chooses to spend and not spend his newfound wealth. The coach referenced Lawrence opting to fly commercial on a trip to the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in early July, an event that brought famous alumni from Lawrence's alma mater, Clemson, to play golf in Nevada.

"I had a chance, my family, to go out there and fly, and I told him he could fly private if he wanted to. But he didn't spring for the extra dollars to fly private, and he could have. He could have afforded a whole plane. He could have done that," Pederson said. 

Lawrence saved money on a private flight. But he paid a different price, according to Pederson.
