Welcome Brian Thomas Jr. Jags new star receiver

50/50 jump ball situations felt more like 70/30 in his favor. His ability to box out in traffic working back inside and his ability to track the football and drag his feet or toe tap outside are better than any of the receivers I saw in this draft class.

The size and top end speed is just a bonus. I kept thinking to myself as the draft process unfolded, that, we had to come out of this draft with him, Ricky Pearsall or Javon Baker. There was no way I thought he would be there at 17, let alone, 23. What helped us was a few defensive guys slipping that probably shouldn't have.

I'll take it though. I expect big things out of him immediately.

Yeah I'm thinking he'll be Trevor's clear #1 option by mid-season and that's meant as no disrespect to Kirk or Engram.  Which receiver has the biggest game will probably still vary game to game even then as opposing defenses will be picking their poison.  O-line please do your part in allowing this to happen.
