7. Trevor Lawrence Jersey
The No. 16 jersey is synonymous with Lawrence. He has worn the No. 16 throughout his high school and college football career.

Lawrence also chose the number due to a lack of available number options. Lawrence initially wore the No. 5 and No. 9 as a young player. But once Lawrence got to middle school, he began wearing No. 16 and it has stuck ever since.
6. Sports Illustrated article about Trevor Lawrence
In 2021, Lawrence stirred controversy when a Sports Illustrated article quoted the quarterback as saying, “It's not like I need football for my life to be O.K. I want to do it because I want to be the best I can be. I want to maximize my potential. Who wouldn't want to? You kind of waste it if you don't.” Following the quote, Lawrence’s motivation and desire to succeed at the top level of football was questioned. Lawrence took to Twitter shortly after the article was published.
He tweeted, "I am internally motivated - I love football as much or more than anyone. It is a HUGE priority in my life, obviously. I am driven to be the best I can be, and to maximize my potential. And to WIN.” Jacksonville Jaguars fans will hope Lawrence has plenty of motivation to lead the team to the top of the AFC.

The incident occurred after Lawrence missed a three-pointer prior to an opposing player attempting to set a pick on him. Lawrence pushed the student twice before the student fell to the court. The ref blew the whistle and the issue was resolved quickly. At one point, it looked like teammates had to keep Lawrence from getting further involved with the student who attempted the pick.
