AFC Notes: Jaguars, Texans, Titans

Jaguars

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence feels that he will get along well with new HC Doug Pederson and is looking forward to his sophomore season in the NFL under a Super Bowl-winning head coach.

“I really like his demeanor. He’s really, really calm,” Lawrence said of Pederson, via Pro Football Talk. “Never gets too high or too low, I really like that. That’s the type of guy I like to be around. Offensively he brings a lot of different things to the table… I think we align pretty well and we’re on the same page.”

  • Jaguars RB Travis Etienne on missing what would have been a disastrous rookie season in Jacksonville: “Definitely, that’s just the human element of it. Just seeing the results, you’re definitely like, ‘If there was any year to miss, I missed a great one.” (Pro Football Talk)
  • Etienne said he’s “85-90 percent” recovered from his Lisfranc injury: “I felt maybe like two or three weeks ago where I felt like I could really get back to myself, just being out there running full speed and just feeling fast, just running.” (James Palmer)
