It's not often that Trevor Lawrence takes the time to complete a lengthy, in-depth interview. He'll speak to local media a few times per week during the season, record some segments at the Super Bowl's Radio Row and during the offseason, and he even allowed himself to be featured in the Jacksonville Jaguars' 2026 schedule release video. But he doesn't do many sit-downs.

Lawrence had an hour-long dialogue on THE JOURNEY in 2023, on The Pivot in 2024, and on Pardon My Take in 2025. Now, we've got a fresh Lawrence interview via In Good Company With Mitch Morse, which is co-hosted and produced by former Jaguars staffer KC Hahey.

When Morse asked his 2022 teammate if there's one question he's sick of answering, Lawrence's mind first went to his hair. The long, blonde flow has always been a trademark for the famous quarterback, and it's recently gained even more attention thanks to the schedule release video. Lawrence was even asked about his fake haircut at the start of OTAs.

Morse omitted hair' as a possible answer, though, so Lawrence went with the lack of respect that his new city gets.

I get asked all the time if I like Jacksonville, and I've been here for five years. I'm like, Yes, dude.'

I do love Jacksonville, but that is one I get asked all the time. And I love hyping up Jacksonville. But I've gotten asked that thousand times at this point."

Morse later asked Lawrence about the lack of national respect for Jacksonville, and whether the team can continue to feed on that this season.

I think there's always going to be that little brother feeling of our team in Jacksonville, which is a good thing, because I think our city has such a chip on its shoulder. Our team has a chip on its shoulder. We're biased, obviously, and we kind of think everyone's against us at times, but I think it is true. You look at it, there's not a lot of people that really want the Jaguars to be good. Like, it's a smaller market. People love to talk about every other team.

There's always things that you can find to kind of say, All right, people still don't really respect us. And I'm sure as far as teams, maybe that's different. I don't know. But yeah, we can we can find plenty. But to your point, you can't rely solely on that is your only motivation. There has to be a standard of consistency. It's like, okay, this is just who we are. We want to be in the hunt every year. It doesn't matter what people think. This is how we go about our business."

I totally agree," Morse concluded. It's bullshit, but it's just the way it is, right?"

Lawrence also monologued for a bit at the very end of the podcast, and understandably so, because Morse asked how he wants to be remembered as a teammate. Tough one to answer in just one breath.

Yeah, I mean, that's a great question. Um. What I was thinking about was- your whole life where you get into football, right, you never think about making a lot of money or playing in the NFL. The biggest my dream ever got as a kid was, I was a huge Tennessee fan growing up, so it was playing for Tennessee and playing college football. I thought if I could do that, I'd have it made. Like that would just be the sickest thing. And then as that gets closer and you kind of keep progressing on and then it becomes a reality, and you get older, and I'm sure, now you're done playing, Mitch, I'm sure you've thought about a lot, is you realize how special the game is. I mean, you devote your entire life to it. So that's something that keeps coming back to me and trying to be an example for the younger guys that come in ... trying to show that love of the game and that's why you play.

There's some guys that play for different reasons and that's all good and fine. Not everyone has to think the same, but I think there is a purity in the game of, we play this game and we started playing it because we love it, and you devoted your whole life to it because you love it, and not just what it can do for you. So, I think that part's really important. And then as far as being a teammate, I think just being willing to sacrifice and do whatever for the guy next to you. That is truly what makes football special, is the locker room and the bond.

Someone said it the other day, it might have been Rob [Hainsey]. We have a scheduled play date for like four hours every day. That's our job. We go in, we talk about what we're going to do, and then we go play around on the field for an hour and go home. And obviously it's more strenuous than that, but it's just, I mean, it's the coolest thing. There's hard stuff that comes with it, but it's so awesome. So I just want to be remembered as a a great teammate, guy that cares about the guys next to him. And a guy that just loved the game for what it is. Not necessarily what it could could do for you- because all that stuff is great, too. It's made an incredible life for me and my family. I couldn't be more thankful for it. But man, it is just- it's special being able to do it. So, I guess that's a long answer. Kind of tough one to answer, but I think everyone I would hope everyone would would want to be remembered as a great teammate that cared about the guys next to him because that's what it's about. That's why it's the best, the ultimate team sport."

I don't want to spoil the whole show, so I'll wrap up the summary here, but it's worth tuning in to hear Lawrence's thoughts on playing in Orlando next season, giving luxurious gifts to his offensive linemen, the fastest way for receivers to earn a passer's trust, and much more.
