Trevor Lawrence, the quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, appears to have a turnover issue despite having played in three full NFL seasons.
Unfortunately for the former first overall pick, this is the case. And Lawrence will need to make the necessary adjustments if he is to ever develop into the great quarterback that many have predicted, as well as if the Jaguars are to contend for the playoffs.
Lawrence has 60 career turnovers, which includes the NFL-high 21 that came this past season (14 interceptions, seven lost fumbles). There are only 11 quarterbacks who have made their debut since 1978 that have turned the ball over more in their first three seasons, per the Elias Sports Bureau. That list includes three Hall of Famers — Warren Moon (73, tied with Steve DeBerg for the most), Peyton Manning (64) and John Elway (61) — but it also includes Mark Sanchez and Blake Bortles (63 each).
