It's hard to imagine anyone except number one overall pick Trevor Lawrence starting for the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1, right? Well, head coach Urban Meyer refuses to commit to that notion.

However, Meyer doesn't seem too worried about the Jaguars' QB's development, per Mackenzie Salmon:

“He’s not ready yet, but he doesn’t have to be ready yet,” Meyer told Salmon. “We got a long training camp coming up. He’s probably advanced maybe a little quicker than we would’ve thought, so which was a positive. One thing that we worked on — when we made a decision that Trevor was going to be our No. 1 pick, we went from the evaluation stage to the preparation stage. And that means that I want to see — I can’t remember the exact date, but we started installing the playbook with him well before the draft. So you can see the retention, he’s got a really good work ethic and he’s progressed very well.”

Lawrence was the surefire top pick for months and by no surprise, the Jaguars took him. You'd have to think he starts in Week 1 but based on Meyer's comments, he doesn't seem to think the former Clemson standout is quite ready yet.

That would mean the legendary Gardner Minshew would be QB1. But, there's still over a month until the first game of the 2021 season. Things will surely change but it does seem like the Jaguars are pleased with what they've seen from Trevor Lawrence thus far.
