Lawrence reacts to being named Jags captain, talks losing Clemson-UGA bet to teammate

When Trevor Lawrence takes the field this Sunday for his first NFL regular season start, he will have a “C” on his chest.

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ franchise quarterback and No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft was among seven players announced as captains by head coach Urban Meyer on Wednesday. The seven captains were decided by player vote Wednesday.

“It was great, man,” Lawrence said to the media after being named a captain. “It’s a really cool feeling, especially as a younger guy, just having that support from my teammates. Really, like I said, being named the starter and then now a captain, nothing changes.
