The first round pick is expected to make a big impact early.
There is no question the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to put a lot on Brian Thomas Jr.'s plate as a rookie. What the talented first round pick does with the oppurtunity could end up defining the entire passing game.
“I think the number one thing you see is the speed on film. You see the ability to get behind secondary and the second and third level defenders. That’s big in our league," Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said at Thomas' introdcutory press conference. With his blend of size and speed, it isn't outlandish to say Thomas is one of the most athletic receivers in the NFL as a rookie. And thanks to that upside, the Jaguars have a chance to develop the kind of receiver talent they haven't seen since Allen Robinson's dominant 2015 season.
