Overview
- Jaguars defensive lineman Arik Armstead told Good Morning Football that Trevor Lawrence "100 percent" should be considered among the NFL’s elite quarterbacks.
- Armstead pointed to the Week 16 road win at Denver, where Next Gen Stats logged pressure on 48.8% of Lawrence’s dropbacks and Lawrence produced three passing touchdowns plus a rushing score.
- The Denver performance came during an eight-game run to close the regular season that delivered a 13-4 record and the AFC South title with Lawrence driving the offense.
- Lawrence finished 2025 as an MVP finalist, yet coverage flags past inconsistency and Armstead said continued work with the same coordinator will shape his next step.
- Year 2 under head coach Liam Coen and a deeper receiver group give Lawrence a stable setup for 2026, which could settle the elite debate if his late-2025 form carries over.
