The Jacksonville Jaguars have a special talent on their hands with Trevor Lawrence, and it didn’t take all that long until they realized that.
Lawrence — just like his team — struggled mightily under Urban Meyer, but Doug Pederson’s signing was a huge beacon of hope for the organization.
He was among the league’s best quarterbacks in the second half of last season, capping it off with a divisional title, an epic second-half comeback in the playoffs, and a more-than-decent performance vs. the eventual Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs.
That’s why Mike Greenberg of ESPN believes Lawrence is the best value pick in terms of the next MVP winner right now.

He explained that he had an elite 7-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio in the second half of the season, and raved about the great strides he made.
Moreover, he pointed out the fact that the Jaguars had the second-most drops in the league, but they have now added an elite receiver in Calvin Ridley.
On top of that, their pass protection was horrible, yet they used a first-round pick to solve those issues, not to mention the fact that they have an easy schedule.
Last but not least, Greenberg talked about Pederson being a quarterback whisperer, talking about how he almost turned Carson Wentz into an MVP, won a Super Bowl with Nick Foles, and revitalized Alex Smith’s career.
