The Jacksonville Jaguars got their first entry in this year's player-voted NFL Top 100 on Friday, and it came with a number that will split the fan base: Trevor Lawrence checked in at No. 62 in the Nos. 70-61 block of the NFL.com reveal. It is the highest ranking of his career — he was No. 94 in 2024 and missed the 2025 list entirely — and it still lands him behind more than sixty of his peers coming off a season in which he won the division.
The resume he carried into the vote was the strongest of his five years. Lawrence started all 17 games in 2025, led Jacksonville to a 13-4 record and the AFC South title, and finished with 4,007 passing yards, a career-high 29 touchdown passes against 12 interceptions, plus career bests of 359 rushing yards and nine rushing scores. As News4Jax noted in its coverage of the reveal, the 38 total touchdowns set a franchise record. That is the full package — durability, efficiency, red-zone production with his legs — that his first four seasons kept promising and never quite delivered together.
So the honest read cuts both ways. Climbing 32 spots from his last appearance while sitting out a year of the list is real, earned respect from the people he plays against. And 62nd is also a reminder of how much skepticism five up-and-down seasons built up. The players, like the betting markets that have already priced Jacksonville for regression, are treating 2025 as a case Lawrence still has to prove twice. One more season in that neighborhood and the number stops being a debate.
The ranking has no bearing on what happens at camp later this month, but it does frame the season fairly: Lawrence enters 2026 as an established above-average starter arguing his way into the top tier, on a roster that lost Travis Etienne Jr. and returns most of the offense that scored its way to 13 wins.
For fantasy purposes, the profile matters more than the ranking. Nine rushing touchdowns is the kind of total that rarely repeats in full, but Lawrence's goal-line usage and 359 rushing yards give him a weekly floor most pocket passers lack, and the passing volume held up all season. He belongs in the back half of the QB1 conversation on draft day, with the rushing production as the swing factor either way.
