Lawrence completed 66 percent of his throws while passing for 4,113 yards and 25 touchdowns for the Jaguars last season. While not shown in the video, he had at least one jaw-dropping play in most of Jacksonville's games.
Take a look at the league's selections:
Lawrence finds Zay Jones deep vs. Chargers (82)
During Jacksonville’s historic comeback against the Chargers, Lawrence fired a rocket to Zay Jones over the middle for an easy touchdown.
It was a part of a 27-point comeback that put Jacksonville into the AFC Divisional Round.
Lawrence to Jones vs. Cowboys (33 & 14)
A play so nice it made the list twice. In what was surely an error, the NFL selected the same play for number 33 and 14.
Lawrence and Jones connected on another deep shot. This time in a comeback surge against Dallas as a part of Jones’ three touchdown performance.
Off of a play action, Lawrence rolled right and uncorked a heater as Jones hit a double move to lose his defender and reel in a touchdown.
