Former Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence took a big step forward in Year 2 in the NFL and is being rewarded for it.

The Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback has been named to the 2023 Pro Bowl games, the NFL announced on Tuesday.

Lawrence is replacing Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as Kansas City is slated to play in the Super Bowl next month.

Lawrence led Jacksonville to the playoffs in only his second year in the NFL. The Jaguars rallied to beat the Chargers 31-30 in the wild card round of the playoffs, before falling to the Chiefs in the divisional round.

The Georgia native completed better than 66 percent of his passes in the 2022-23 regular season, throwing for 4,113 yards and 25 touchdowns.

Lawrence was one of three players in the NFL to record at least 25 passing touchdowns and 5 rushing touchdowns this season, joining Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Bills QB Josh Allen.

The 2023 Pro Bowl games will take place in Las Vegas beginning on Thursday. There will be a seven-on-seven flag football game on Sunday at 3 p.m. to wrap up the weekend.
