Welcome again to the summer time 2025 iteration of the Jacksonville Jaguars state of the roster.
As all the NFL has seen prior to now few weeks, the Jaguars are working on a complete totally different degree than the one persons are used to. This isn’t the identical outdated, usual underneath the earlier regime(s).
Every week, we are going to take an in depth take a look at each Jags place group which have principally all been retooled underneath the James Gladstone entrance workplace and Liam Coen teaching fashion.
The only group of all of them is the quarterback room. There may be one quarterback in Duval County that issues. And his title is Trevor Lawrence.
Trevor Lawrence
Contract: First yr of a 5-year, $275,000,000 contract.
Age: 25 (26 in October).
Video games Performed: 60 video games over 4 seasons.
Stats: 13,815 yards passing, 4th all-time in Jags historical past. 1-1 in playoffs. 89 passing TDs, 54 INTs.
Notes:
Everybody and anybody has an opinion on Trevor Lawrence. That’s what occurs if you find yourself top-of-the-line fashionable period faculty quarterbacks who will get drafted No. 1 general and is billed as the subsequent coming of Jesus on the soccer subject (actually due to the hair and metaphorically due to his expertise, after all).
Has Lawrence lived as much as the unbelievable hype set in entrance of him? Not likely. Are there 1,001 the reason why he hasn’t been given the infrastructure to succeed to the most effective of his skills? Completely.
This season can be an enormous yr for Lawrence within the first yr of his mega contract, and with a brand new crew and workers round him. At the moment, Lawrence is the fifth-highest-paid quarterback within the league, which you clearly will hear negativity on. However on the finish of the day, it’s Trevor freaking Lawrence, man.
A key for Lawrence this yr can be determining who’s his security blanket on third down conditions with out tight finish Evan Engram. Engram and Lawrence clearly had a powerful connection, just like the one he had with Marvin Jones Jr. and with Christian Kirk. We all know he desires Brian Thomas Jr. concerned and there can be loads of motion for Travis Hunter, however there’ll have to be somebody to step as much as assist Lawrence when issues go awry.
This crew has invested within the offensive line, has two beginning caliber operating backs together with a instrument shed of operating again weapons, a pair of primary receivers and an rising tight finish.
This season has the makings of the place we are going to lastly see Lawrence unlocked and taking part in to his full potential. And on the very least, the man is barely 25 years outdated. It isn’t like he has been within the NFL for 10 years but. There are many good issues to come back from our golden-haired god.
Nick Mullens
Contract: First yr of a 2-year, $4,500,000 deal.
Age: 30 (31 in March).
Video games Performed: 33 throughout 7 seasons.
Stats: 6,429 profession passing yards. 10 begins for 49ers in 2020. Profession QBR of 88.3.
Notes:
Admittedly, I needed to Google this one. In doing so, I realized that former Jaguars backup quarterback Mac Jones is ninth all-time in Jags passing yards. I actually don’t know tips on how to really feel about that.
Anyway, Nick Mullens within the new QB2 in Jacksonville and he definitely isn’t a foul choice. He has been within the league a decently very long time and has had respectable success. He has performed for 2 glorious quarterback-friendly groups in San Francisco and Minnesota so perhaps he has a factor or two to show Lawrence that might assist unlock some random a part of his sport.
Mullens is probably going an enchancment over Jones if he’s ever wanted. He boasts an 88.3 profession quarterback ranking and completes passes at nearly 66%.
He’s a strong pickup. As with every backup quarterback, although, let’s hope we solely see him kneeling out video games.
John Wolford
Contract: 1 yr, $1,170,00 deal.
Age: 29 (30 in October).
Video games Performed: 7
Stats:
Notes:
John Wolford can also be on this crew! He performed for Jacksonville highschool Bishop Kenny, then the Rams for just a few years as a profession backup, and is now the third-stringer again the place he bought his soccer begin. Wolford too performed for a really quarterback-friendly group in Los Angeles and realized underneath each Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford. He was even a backup for Coen in Tampa Bay this previous season.
Wolford’s greatest power for this crew is that dude is extraordinarily brilliant. When you have by no means learn his personal op-eds on day by day prep, I’d extraordinarily encourage it.
Right here is one with the Athletic, and one on his personal. The man clearly is aware of at the least tips on how to be an NFL quarterback.
If Wolford is within the sport for Jacksonville this season, although, we’re probably in hassle. Right here’s to hoping we don’t ever should cross that bridge. Wolford is a Tremendous Bowl champion, so the Jags can say they’ve a Tremendous Bowl-winning quarterback. That’s enjoyable!
John Wolford performed with Liam Coen in Tampa and LA. Now in Jacksonville.

Seth Henigan
Contract: 3 years, $2,985,000.
Age: 22 (23 in March).
Video games Performed: N/A
Stats: 104 landing passes to 34 interceptions. 34-16 report at Memphis.
Notes:
The Jags picked up Seth Henigan as a UDFA out of Memphis. In 2021, Henigan really turned the primary true freshman at Memphis to start out a season opener, and thru 50 video games, he amassed over 14,000 yards passing. He’s the all-time landing chief at Memphis and threw touchdowns in 41 straight video games at one level. The child can play soccer, and he very effectively would possibly do it in Jacksonville because the third stringer.
He’ll battle it out with Wolford for that last roster spot and he would possibly simply win it. He’s youthful and a uncooked expertise. Jon Gruden actually likes him, and Coen, in his personal phrases, has grown to actually like Hennigan.
He was by no means an enormous recruit, did loads of good at a smaller notable college, and went undrafted. It is a man who will struggle for his proper to be on an NFL roster and he would possibly simply make it in spite of everything.
