The Jacksonville Jaguars are entering a pivotal season after a tumultuous offseason that saw the firing of head coach Doug Pederson and general manager Trent Baalke. The team has appointed Liam Coen, previously the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in hopes of reviving their offense which ranked among the league's worst last season. Coen's impressive track record with the Buccaneers, including career-best numbers for quarterback Baker Mayfield, raises expectations for quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Lawrence's journey has been rocky; after a promising Pro Bowl season in 2022, he regressed in 2023, leading to concerns about his future. The Jaguars bolstered their roster by trading up for Heisman winner Travis Hunter, a versatile player expected to contribute on both offense and defense. However, the adjustment to the NFL could pose challenges. The Jaguars' success hinges on Coen's ability to extract the best performances from Lawrence and his new weapons, particularly with a lack of depth at quarterback.
