JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Following a crushing 27-20 playoff loss to the Kansas City Cheifs on Saturday , Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence didn’t immediately leave the field and head to the locker room.
Instead, the team captain waited in the tunnel and exchanged hugs and handshakes with the majority of the team in what some are calling a classy move by the rising star.
