JACKSONVILLEHe's liking what he's learning. And feeling.

Jaguars quarterbackTrevor Lawrenceis in his fifth NFL offseason and he's learning his third NFL offensive system. That's one of the most important storylines of the Jaguars' 2025 offseason, and here's what's positive:

Lawrence sees the process as positive. Very positive.

"Without going into too many details, there are a lot of things I like about it," he said.

Lawrence, the Jaguars' fifth-year starting quarterback, spoke to the media Monday after Day 1 of 2025 Jaguars organized team activitiesat the Miller Electric Center with first-year Head Coach Liam Coen speaking immediately after and reiterating what Lawrence said:

That the critical process of Lawrence learning Coen's system is going as planned.

Lawrence is not only in his third offensive system in five seasons, he's also working with his third NFL head coach in Coen and third NFL offensive coordinator infirst-year coordinator Grant Udinski.

Udinski on Monday called Lawrence's learning of the system "a work in progress."

"He's done a heck of a job studying for practices and meetings," Udinski said. "It's a lot of work to learn the system and to get to the point where it's second nature, where he is out there playing and not thinking, and he can process things at that speed he will play at.

Among Lawrence's offseason objectives:Honing and eventually mastering footwork changes and techniques necessary in Coen's system. Lawrence said he began working on the area before the offseason program officially began. This was as he began throwing after rehabilitating from December surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder.

"I think it is really going to help me. I feel more confident with my feet aligned where I want to go my progressions and tying my feet to my progressions, being balanced and being able to get across the field quickly. I think it has been really good, and I just have to keep working at it.

"It doesn't come overnight. It doesn't come in four months, either. It is going to take a while, so just keep working at it this whole offseason."

Lawrence called the work a combination of fundamentals and changes specific to Coens scheme.

Lawrence, too, on Monday praised Coen's offensive system a system based on that of the Los Angeles Rams under Head Coach Sean McVay. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2025 ranked fourth in the NFL in rushing, third in passing and third overall in Coen's lone season as the Buccaneers' offensive coordinator.

"It is definitely unlike any system that I have learned before, so it has been cool to learn, pick the coaches' brains and try to get it down as fast as possible. I've been working to get it all down. I feel good about it. I now just have to go from knowing it to second nature. You don't think about it. You hear the play call, you spit it out, you go play. You play fast and you're not thinking about it.

"That's always kind of the transition when you learn a new system. You have to get it down to where you can just react."
