Thomas had a terrific rookie season, which included finishing fourth in the NFL’s Rookie of the Year voting. In what was a loaded wide receiver draft class that included seven first round selections, Thomas was the most productive.
He finished the season totaling 1,282 receiving yards, which was the third-most among all receivers last season. Thomas was a reliable target, catching 67% of his passes and averaged 14.7 yards per catch with 10 touchdowns, according to PFF.
Perhaps most impressive was that Thomas was the focal point of the offense with 129 targets, however, opposing defenses still struggled to contain him.
Thomas’ combination of speed and route running ability makes him a difficult matchup and allows him to make plays at all levels of the field.
As good as Thomas was in 2024, new Jaguars’ offensive coordinator Grant Udinski is also excited about what’s ahead for the second-year receiver with the growth and potential that is still in front of him.
“Just in terms of the excitement of the tools and the ability that he has and the potential there,” Udinski said. “You saw the results this year, but the potential for growth beyond this year and the different ways you can use him to attack defenses in a multitude of ways.”
Thomas’ role within the offense is going to grow under Liam Coen, but that isn’t only in regards to the number of potential targets, but how Thomas is utilized within the offense as well from where he lines up to the routes he’s asked to run.
