Their jobs. But they also have an enormous number of tools with which to build a transformation, the biggest of which is the first public pick in the 2021 NFL Draft – this year, that could mean a chance to land Clemson midfielder Trevor Lawrence, who is considered one of the best potential players in history, if he decides. Enter the draft.

That has to change, and the first step is for Jacksonville to become a place the players want, with a coach they want to play for.
