Trevor Lawrence signed a big contract extension , and now he's got even bigger news: He's going to be a father!

The Jacksonville Jaguars ' franchise quarterback made the announcement with his wife, Marissa Lawrence, on social media Thursday. It will be the couple's first child.

"A little Lawrence on the way," Marissa Lawrence wrote in the post. The two are seen in a series of photos with ultrasound photos; in one photo, the couple's dog is putting its paw on her belly.

The post did not mention when the baby was due.
