    Trevor Lawrence is just like us. It's always a little nerve-wracking before a new season kicks off. The only difference is that he has to actually throw the ball, whereas we can just yell, scream, and have fun along the way.

    Trevor was asked about pregame nerves and whether or not that's still a thing for him as a veteran player.

    On if he feels any nerves or excitement to get back out on the field

    Trevor: Excited. Yeah, really excited. I always get a little game day nervous, stomach’s tight, it's harder to eat in the morning, stuff like that. But once you kick it off, you settle in really quick. So, I wouldn't say there's anything added to it except for just excitement. I think as you play longer, at least going to my fourth year, you get really excited when you get to actually game plan and prepare for an opponent because you go through training camp, and obviously training camp is very necessary and really important, but towards the end of training camp, you're like, ‘All right, let's just get to Week 1 and let's play somebody, and let's game plan and do all that.’ Because you're running your same stuff throughout training camp for four weeks and you get to the point where you're just like, ‘All right, I want to have a game plan and know what we're attacking.’ That part of the game, I think, is fun. Our coaching staff, I know, feels the same way. That's why you play is to plan for certain opponents and you get to go do it on Sundays. That's what's really fun.

    On if there’s any added comfort with WR Christian Kirk being available to play on Sunday

    Trevor: Definitely, definitely. Obviously, he's an important part of our offense, our team, what he brings to the table. I think we all saw how important he was last year when we were missing him. Just the things that he's able to do really in every aspect of the game. He contributes and he's a playmaker. Very dependable and it's going to be great to have him back out there.
