Where does Marc Sessler slot Jaguars budding star Trevor Lawrence in his updated quarterback rankings? His running ability gives him a high baseline, and he's a solid starting quarterback at worst, which is quite a find for a highly criticized second-round pick. He is expected to be back at full strength and much of the Cowboys' success in 2021 will ride on his arm and legs. Jones will develop well as a rookie with his arm and accuracy. 2021 stats:14 games | 67.2 pct | 3,245 pass yds | 6.6 ypa | 19 pass TD | 8 INT | 87 rush yds | 0 rush TD | 9 fumbles, 2020 final ranking:22 |2019:20 |2018:7 |2017:15 |2016:32.
