Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen is encouraging quarterback Trevor Lawrence to continue using his rushing ability as a key weapon in the team’s offensive scheme. During the 2025 season, Lawrence reached a career high with 29 passing touchdowns and contributed 359 rushing yards along with nine ground scores. Coen stated on Wednesday that he trusts Lawrence’s judgment to exhaust his passing progressions before opting to tuck the ball and run. This dual-threat approach proved effective in the red zone last year and serves as a complication for defensive coordinators who must prepare for the quarterback's mobility. Lawrence returns this season to lead a roster that includes wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter, along with tight end Brenton Strange. Coen remains focused on ensuring Lawrence maintains his aggressiveness as a runner to maximize the efficiency of the Jacksonville offense.
