Trevor Lawrence Proving His Biggest Hater and Former Champion Wrong

Richard Sherman is unmoved

Earlier this season, Richard Sherman fired off his Twitter fingers (or X fingers?) to express his incredulity over Trevor Lawrence's new contract. He simply couldn't believe that the Jacksonville Jaguars opted to sign their 2021 first-overall pick to a five-year, $275 million extension.

His disbelief was only compounded when the Jags were blown out by Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams in London, 35-7. Despite the lopsided score, Lawrence actually had a decent overall game in that one, finishing with 314 total yards, a touchdown, and no turnovers. That didn't matter to Sherman, though, who again made his scrutiny of T-Law clear on the internet.

After Lawrence's performance against the Jets, Jaguars fans made sure to inform Sherman of the quarterback's incredible day. The relentless competitor he is, Sherman didn't back down, firing back at Jacksonville by saying that he hasn't watched any of the games and refuses to do so because of the fanbase.

Sherman's long history with Lawrence

Richard Sherman can say that he has a disdain for the Jacksonville Jaguars because of the recent behavior from their fans, but that simply isn't true. In fact, he's been after Lawrence for years, practically since he was drafted into the league. He even went so far as to blame the quarterback for the dirty hit he suffered against Azeez Al-Shaair and the Houston Texans last year that knocked him for the season with a concussion.

All Lawrence can do now is continue to shine until Sherman either changes his tune or looks downright deranged in his pursuit to discredit the Jaguars and their franchise quarterback.
