Brian Thomas

Jaguars signed No. 23 overall pick Brian Thomas Jr. to a four-year contract.

The Jaguars selected Thomas with the No. 23 overall pick in this year’s draft after he went for 68-1,177-17 last year at LSU. The 6-foot-3 speedster blazed a 4.33 40-yard dash at this year’s combine and is expected to come in and immediately contribute as a field stretcher for Trevor Lawrence, who attempted the third-most deep passes (75) last season. Thomas and free agent signee Gabe Davis could both play similar roles in 2024, while Christian Kirk continues to operate from the slot. With that said, Thomas possesses elite deep speed compared to Davis and could turn into the preferred option on go routes and plays downfield. He makes for a great later round stash who should offer plenty of splash weeks as a rookie.
