There are a few quarterbacks in the NFL who truly have the most to prove in the 2025 NFL Season.
QB is the most important position in all of sports, so it is no surprise that passers across the league face a ton of pressure in a given season. Well, there are more than three starting quarterbacks who are under pressure, but it feels like these three are truly under a ton of pressure to perform.
Which three NFL quarterbacks have the most to prove in the 2025 NFL Season?
These 3 NFL quarterbacks have the most to prove in the 2025 season
Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
It is not hard to see why people want to see more from Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lawrence was given that generational label, and he has been anything but in his first four years in the NFL. The Jags did have a breakout season in 2022, but they regressed big-time in 2023 and 2024.
Now with what could be a stable coaching staff led by Liam Coen, the time is now for Lawrence to cement his status as an unquestioned, high-end franchise QB. It seems like most think Lawrence is pretty average, which is fair.
But he's got the skillset to be one of the 10-best passers in this league. The time is now.
Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
Lamar Jackson has all of the regular season statistics and is a future Hall of Fame QB, but the playoff success simply is not there. The Baltimore Ravens have not won multiple games in the playoffs since 2012, so this may also be a John Harbaugh issue, but Jackson does statistically decline in the postseason.
The Ravens again will field an elite roster and will again win a ton of games - the regular season is just a formality at this point, but if it's another year of disappointment in the playoffs, what will the conversation be around Lamar Jackson?
Simply put, Jackson has to put the team on his back and carry his squad to a Super Bowl. That's where we are at with this player and this franchise.
Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears
What doesn't Caleb Williams have in Chicago? He's now got an offensive whiz as a head coach, a secure offensive line, and weapons galore. Williams did actually play well in 2024 in my opinion - tossing just six interceptions given the situation he was in was a miracle.
But in 2025, Caleb Williams and the Bears offense have to put it all together. There isn't s shortage of high-end talent on that side of the ball, and Williams was yet another QB who was given the generational label coming out of college. A ton of pressure will be on his shoulders for 2025.
