5 NFL teams expected to have a big turnaround in 2022 NFL season
While some NFL teams impressed during the 2021 NFL season, others failed to live up to expectations.
The 2022 NFL season will bring new opportunities for every team and some of them are eager to turn things around and get back on the right track. Here are five teams expected to do so in the upcoming season.
5 NFL teams who are projected to turn things around in the 2022 NFL season
#5 - Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars finished the 2021 season with the worst record in the NFL. One of the big reasons was the poor performance of rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
Despite his struggles last year, he is still one of the highest-rated quarterback prospects of all time and is in a much better position to succeed in his second year.
The people who are calling Trevor Lawrence a bust already need to realize that this guy is barely 22 years old. He’s actually younger than Kenny Pickett, Malik Willis, Desmond ridder, Matt Corral and Carson Strong. Future is still bright for Lawrence. #jaguars
One of the main upgrades the Jaguars made this year was bringing in head coach Doug Pederson to replace Urban Meyer.
They were also aggressive during the 2022 free agency period, adding players such as Christian Kirk, Brandon Scherff, Arden Key and Evan Engram. They should be a better team on both sides of the ball and are expected to take a step forward this year.
#4 - Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns made one of the biggest blockbuster trades of all time when they acquired Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans for a massive package of draft picks over the next few years.
The last time Deshaun Watson played was during the 2020 season, when he led the league in passing yards. He should provide a major upgrade from Baker Mayfield, who has played inconsistently throughout his career so far.
