The entire Jacksonville Jaguars NFL Draft class is now under contract.
Jacksonville Jaguars first-round pick Brian Thomas Jr. has officially signed his rookie contract, putting a bow on the 2024 draft class.Thomas is the final draft pick to sign after second-round defensive lineman Maason Smith signed earlier in the day. All nine of the Jaguars' picks will now enter next week's three-day minicamp as official Jaguars.
"Brian is a young man, I think he had 22 targets over 20-plus yards and scored 15 touchdowns on those. He’s an explosive athlete, he can help open up the field a little bit," Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke said after the first round. Thomas caught 28 passes for 359 yards and two touchdowns for LSU in 2021. In 2022, he caught 31 passes for 361 yards and five touchdowns.
