With significant turnover at one of the most crucial positions in football, the Jaguars now boast the longest-tenured starting quarterback in their division. Trevor Lawrence has more NFL experience than any of his divisional counterparts, giving Jacksonville an advantage in stability.
The Titans are expected to draft a quarterback with the first overall pick, while the Colts’ plans remain uncertain—whether they stick with Richardson, bring in competition, or move on from him entirely.
New head coach Liam Cohen played a key role in revitalizing Baker Mayfield’s career and could have a similar impact on Lawrence. Given the lack of coaching continuity Lawrence has faced, this change could provide the stability he and the team need.
With two potential rookie quarterbacks entering the AFC South, Jacksonville has a clear path to winning the division next season. Their biggest threat is the Texans, but with Stroud regressing from his rookie year, Houston will need to hope his decline continues.
