Trevor Lawrence supports teammate who might oddly be out of favor with Jaguars coaches: 'He's got to be on the field'

Say what you will about Trevor Lawrence during a mostly trying season, but the Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback still isn't afraid to speak his mind.

Lawrence made some ripples before the season when he said he didn't feel the need to manufacture motivation for himself. Then he earned some raised eyebrows in October when he semi-questioned his coaches' reservations about his QB-sneaking ability.

Now Lawrence is speaking his mind again, this time sticking up for a teammate.

Running back James Robinson was a shocking rookie standout for the 1-15 Jags in 2020 after being undrafted out of Illinois State, rumbling for 1,070 yards and catching 49 passes despite missing two games in an otherwise lost season for Jacksonville.
