Jett Lawrence graces 2025 Met Gala red carpet with classic style
Lawrence was the first SuperMotocross athlete to walk the red carpet at the exclusive event.
'It's honestly an honor,' Lawrence said before being called onto the carpet. 'It shows that moto's expanding into new spaces, and I get to help lead that. I'm proud to rep the sport and show the world we've got style too.'
The theme of the 2025 Met Gala was 'Superfine Tailoring: Black Style, Black Dandyism' which called for fearless expression and boundary-defying elegance. Jett delivered with his boyish good looks and sense of style, showing a sophistication that dirt bike racing often fails to evoke.
Lawrence's suit was tailored by David August, crafted from a deep aubergine self-floral jacquard. The double-breasted suit harkened to an earlier epoch of style, but was modernized with a hidden fly front, sculptural exaggerated peak lapels, and sleek jetted flat pockets.
Standing in the gap between ageless icons of SuperMotocross like Eli Tomac and Ken Roczen and new additions to the 450 division such as Justin Cooper and Christian Craig, Lawrence's Gala experience was a turning point for the sport.
Lawrence was joined by other superstar athletes, including Hamilton, who co-chaired the event, Saquon Barkley, Simone Biles, Joe Burrow, Serena Williams, and Jalen Hurts, plus several others.
Lawrence will return to SuperMotocross for Round 18 of the SMX World Championship and Round 1 of Pro Motocross from Fox Raceway in Pala, California, in two weeks on May 24, 2025.

What should the Seahawks expect from DeMarcus Lawrence in 2025?
A friendly reminder we have 4x Pro Bowler on our squad now. The Seattle Seahawks return most of their keynote defensive players from last season. That will please head coach Mike Macdonald, who saw his defense improve down the stretch. One of the more notable changes saw veteran free-agent signing DeMarcus Lawrence replace Dre'Mont Jones, who was released from his bloated contract. General manager John Schneider signed Lawrence to a three-year contract worth $32.5 million, carrying an annual average of $10.8 million. Lawrence will be tasked with supporting Boye Mafe and Derick Hall on the edges of Macdonald's defense. He projects as a big-time contributor to the pass rush. It's also fair to say Lawrence's most productive campaigns are behind him. The 33-year-old rusher was limited to four regular-season appearances in 2024 after suffering a season-ending foot injury. Lawrence still looked effective in a small sample size, recording three sacks in four games. The Seahawks are placing Lawrence in an ideal role. With Mafe, Hall, and even Uchenna Nwosu also at EDGE, the four-time Pro Bowler (who qualified for the NFL's all-star game as recently as 2023), won't be asked to do heavy lifting. Instead, Lawrence will play a limited role designed on maximizing his health and performance. Lawrence won't just contribute as a pass rusher. He's also been an outstanding run defender throughout his illustrious career. "Lawrence's best days as a pass rusher are behind him, but he can help the Seahawks' rush defense," The Athletic's Ted Nguyen recently wrote in an article that claims the Seahawks defense will "break out" in 2025. The analytics also support that argument. In 2023, Lawrence's last full season, Pro Football Focus assigned him an elite run-stopping grade of 92.4. In 2021, he earned a similar 93.2. Lawrence has been a legitimate force multiplier as a run defender. Lawrence may be a past-his-prime asset, but the Seahawks appear to possess a sound plan for his usage. Expect the former Butler Community College and Boise State standout to play an effective role in 2025. Lawrence should be effective for the Seahawks this season.

Jaguars pass on Trevor Lawrence, take new QB, in mock draft of active NFL players
In a unique 7-round mock draft of active NFL players, the Jaguars pass on QB Trevor Lawrence in the first round. The Jacksonville Jaguars passed on quarterback Trevor Lawrence in a very unique seven-round mock draft put together by Chad Reuter of In this mock, rather than selecting the top college prospects or redrafting past drafts, Reuter selected only active NFL players. In doing so, he had one goal in mind for each team, which was to "win now." So, who did the Jaguars pick instead of Lawrence, and what did their seven-man draft class end up looking like? Jacksonville Jaguars pick QB Justin Herbert Holding the fifth overall pick in this mock, Jacksonville took LA Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. Over his career, Herbert has completed 66.5% of his passes at 7.2 yards per attempt with 137 touchdowns to 45 interceptions. He was the 2020 Offensive Rookie of the Year and is a one-time Pro Bowler. Herbert and the Chargers have been to the playoffs twice, with one of those losses coming to the Jaguars on an incredible second-half comeback led by Lawrence. Lawrence ended up being taken 16th overall in this mock by Arizona. Who else did the Jaguars pick in this mock draft? Around Herbert, the Jaguars prioritize the trenches, taking Wirfs in Round 2. Consistent success for any offense begins up front with time in the pocket for a quarterback and the offense having a run game to lean on. Wirfs was PFF's highest-graded pass-blocking tackle last season. At the skill positions, the Jaguars land Jeanty, who was the sixth overall pick in this year's draft after a dominant 2024 season at Boise State. Loveland brings a field-stretching and heavy pass-catching presence to the tight end position, while Jeudy is coming off his best season, totaling 1,229 receiving yards. On defense, Hunter was sixth in pressures in 2024, and as we know, the name of the game is getting after the quarterback. Lenoir, meanwhile, has experience playing both inside and out, and has had excellent ball production in his career, which includes eight interceptions and 16 pass breakups over the last three seasons. To see which five Jaguars players were selected in this mock, you can find that here.
