Jaguars fan goes viral after squatting Trevor Lawrence at local bar

JACKSONVILLE, Florida. – The Jaguars are the talk of the town after capping a stellar bounce-back season with an AFC South championship and a 13-4 record, but one fan managed to take the idea of ​​”putting the team on your back” to new levels following the team’s 41-7 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

In a now-viral video posted to social media, a fan named Natasha Lane got to meet Jaguars players, including quarterback Trevor Lawrence, at Pete’s Bar in Neptune Beach.

But that’s not the best part of the video.

According to Natasha, she had a unique request for the Jags QB. She wanted Lawrence’s permission to lift him up and perform a squat with him on his back.

“I was waiting for the friend and Trevor Lawrence came out, and instead of asking for a photo, I asked to squat him instead,” Lane said. “His reaction was very shocked. He looked at me and asked if I was serious, and I said, ‘I really am.’

Lawrence agreed, and the rest is viral video history.

Lane, a disabled veteran, says she did five squats with the Jags leader on her shoulders.

“After I put him down, he stood there for a second and, whoa, you’re a very strong woman. I said, ‘Thank you, I’m working out,'” she explained.

In the video, Lawrence is seen swinging his 6’6 frame across Natasha’s upper back as she holds one of his arms for balance before lowering to the ground and getting back up. She is captured performing at least three reps in the video, which was posted on various national media outlets such as SportsCenter and Overtime.

Afterward, Lane said she took a photo with Lawrence and was able to spend some time with him and his teammates. She posted the video online, not expecting it to go viral.

“I woke up this morning and next thing I know it’s everywhere and I’m still a little shocked to be honest,” she said.

Comments on the video range from disbelief to comedy. “It must be AI,” one user wrote. Another said: “I like [that Trevor] let it happen… my knee would have broken in two.

However, one of the more comical comments read: “My friend, what did I tell you about picking up strange men in bars?”

And for Lane, she’s already preparing for the next time she meets Trevor again, and has a simple question ready to ask when the time comes.

“Can I squat again? You know, this time I’ll have better form.”
