As Jaguars' QB Trevor Lawrence progresses in his career, he continues to gain more and more attention from fans, media, and even sports books.

BetMGM lists both Trevor Lawrence and Patrick Mahomes as the most likely to lead the NFL in passing touchdowns at 11.5%.

Clearly, expectations are high for the Jags' 3rd-year quarterback, as Lawrence stands alone on this list with Patrick Mahomes who finished two of the last five seasons as the League leader in passing touchdowns. Oh and by the way, in both years Mahomes led the NFL in passing touchdowns, he also won MVP. 

Leading the league in touchdowns isn't a far stretch for Trevor Lawrence. Last year, Lawrence threw for 4,113 yards and 25 touchdowns to seven different receivers, all of which, other than Marvin Jones are returning to the Jags this year. 

The Jags will also add an all-pro receiver to their offense this season, in Calvin Ridley. Ridley is coming off a suspension for violating the League's gambling policy in 2021, but is already turning heads in Jaguars' training camp. 

Ridley should have no problem solidifying himself as Lawrence's favorite target, as he finished his last full season with nine receiving touchdowns. Christian Kirk (The Jags' leading receiver last year finished the season with eight touchdowns).

Jaguars' general manager Trent Baalke and head coach Doug Pederson have worked hard to build an arsenal for their QB to throw to. All eyes are on Trevor Lawrence.

Can Lawrence lead the League in passing touchdowns this year and more importantly lead the Jaguars back to the playoffs?
