Khan pushed his coaches to help the young players it selects in the draft.
I believe there has been a radical shift for us—specifically, for our coaching, which now needs to focus on developing young players,” Khan remarked. Our approach won’t be to sign free agents each year as our remedy. We are not capable of it.
The bottom line is that developing young talent is essential. The priorities of the coaching staff and the coaching itself need to shift. They need to adopt a different perspective. We will acquire our future players from there.
In the summer, the Jaguars committed heavily on Trevor Lawrence. A five-year contract renewal worth up to $275 million, including guarantees of $200 million, was agreed to by the two parties.
Khan expressed his faith in Doug Pederson as the team’s head coach and said it was “comforting” to know Lawrence will be in charge for at least the next five years.
The first choice in the 2021 draft was Lawrence. In 50 games, he has 11,770 throwing yards and 58 touchdown passes.
