If you put together a list of reasons to be hyped about the 2023 Jacksonville Jaguars, there's no doubt Trevor Lawrence would take the top spot. 

After taking the franchise to the playoffs last year in a breakout season, he's already on everyone's radar as a potential Top 5 quarterback in the league. There's nowhere to go but up. 

But a very close second might just be Lawrence's new buddy: Calvin Ridley.

On Sunday, Jaguars fans finally got to see the pair working together on a workout video published by cinematographer Aaron Berkshire on YouTube. You can watch the clip below.

The clip is a first look at Lawrence and Ridley working together. Mostly, it's slow-mo clips of the two. While it's not the real thing just yet, it'll get fans excited about the upcoming season.

After all, this is a move that has been a year in the making. When the Jaguars traded for him last year, it didn't feel like much given his suspension.

On top of Ridley's reinstatement, the Jaguars became one of the best passing offenses in the NFL without him last year. 

The thought of adding him to the No. 6 passing offense per DVOA is definitely more enticing than last year when we were unaware of what the new offense run by Doug Pederson was going to look like. 

Lawrence's top targets last season were Christian Kirk (133 targets), Zay Jones (121), and Evan Engram (98). It's safe to say Ridley will be aiming for that top spot next season.

After all, the new Jaguars' weapon averaged 109 targets per season over his first three years in the league. He'll make his presence felt.
