Trevor Lawrence, the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback, has had an exciting few weeks. He recently signed a massive $275 million contract, putting him on par with Joe Burrow as the second-highest paid player in NFL history. But the good news doesn’t stop there for Lawrence and his wife, Marissa, as they took to Instagram to announce that they are expecting their first child.
In a joint post, the couple shared the joyous news with their followers, posting 10 photos including a sonogram and images of Marissa proudly displaying her baby bump. This new chapter in their lives comes on the heels of Lawrence’s record-breaking contract, which includes a guaranteed $142 million. The young quarterback has quickly risen in the ranks, becoming one of only six QBs making over $50 million a year, alongside other notable names like Burrow, Jared Goff, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, and Jalen Hurts.
Despite his relatively short time in the NFL, Lawrence has already left his mark on the Jacksonville Jaguars franchise. He currently holds the fourth spot on the team’s all-time passing yards list, and his 58 career touchdown passes rank fourth in franchise history as well. In the past two seasons, Lawrence has consistently thrown for over 4,000 yards, showcasing his talent and potential as a top-tier quarterback.
However, it hasn’t been smooth sailing for Lawrence and the Jaguars. Despite winning the AFC South in 2022, the team suffered a disappointing second-half collapse that led to them missing the playoffs. Lawrence’s individual stats from last season include 4,016 passing yards, 21 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. He also rushed for four scores, lost seven fumbles, and was sacked a career-high 35 times, highlighting areas for improvement in his game.
At just 24 years old, Lawrence has already accumulated a record of 21-31 as a starter in three seasons, with a playoff record of 1-1. One area of concern for the young quarterback is his turnover rate, with a total of 60 turnovers in his career so far. As he continues to develop and refine his skills, Lawrence will need to focus on minimizing these turnovers to reach his full potential and live up to the high expectations set for him by the Jaguars organization.
As Lawrence prepares to become a father and take on the challenges of the upcoming NFL season, fans are eagerly anticipating his growth and progress both on and off the field. With a supportive wife by his side and a lucrative contract in hand, the future looks bright for this talented young quarterback.
