Welcome Brian Thomas Jr. Jags new star receiver


Just rewatched some highlights of Odunze, who was my favorite in this draft, and Thomas. I gotta say, Thomas compares well. I didn't see a ton of contested catches because he gets great separation and is a lot of times behind his man and a few steps ahead when the ball gets there. Odunze is similar though appears a bit more physical. I saw two push offs from Odunze on a couple of his touchdown highlights. Good for him for getting away with it, but he also might wind up getting more offensive pass interference calls coming at him if he doesn't disguise them well. Also saw him spin around in the air to catch the ball with his body on a couple of catches where he kinda rag dolled when he hit the ground and his head snapped back and hit the turf. If he doesn't brace for impact better he might wind up a little more susceptible to concussions. At any rate, I still really like both guys but came away feeling even better about Thomas.

I think Thomas is in a better situation than Odunze and Nabers. He's easily in a better situation than Nabers because of QB play, but even if Caleb Williams isn't a bust, he's still a rookie trying to figure things out. And Odunze probably is the bonafide number 3 option there until he figures things out perhaps later in the year or next year. Thomas could be the 1 or 2 here right out of the gate. If Trevor is given a quarter second more on average and Thomas picks things up relatively quickly, Thomas could have some big games this year.
