Overview
- Lawrence moved up to No. 62 on the NFL Top 100, a player-voted list that reflects how fellow players view his standing.
- His jump follows a resurgent 2025 in which he started all 17 games, passed for 4,007 yards and 29 touchdowns, and added nine rushing TDs to set a franchise mark for total scores.
- The rise completes a 32-spot improvement from his prior Top 100 appearance and comes after he missed large parts of 2024 with a shoulder injury and a concussion.
- Veteran safety Kevin Byard was ranked No. 61 on the same list and has signed with the New England Patriots after two seasons with the Chicago Bears.
- The ranking cements Lawrence as Jacksonville’s franchise quarterback but also raises the question of whether he can convert regular-season momentum into playoff wins for the 2026 campaign.
