Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr wants to be ‘undeniable’ after second-year setbacks
Brian Thomas Jr. caught every pass in offseason drills as the Jaguars hope he becomes a No. 1 receiver after 10 drops last season.
- Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas dominated offseason drills, catching every pass thrown his way during minicamp. The 2024 NFL draft's 23rd pick looked like his sensational rookie self, turning heads consistently.
- Last season, Thomas struggled significantly, reeling in just 47.3% of 91 targets while tying for second in the NFL with 10 drops. Personal challenges, including the April 2025 death of college teammate Kyren Lacy, compounded his confidence issues.
- Coach Liam Coen praised Thomas for attacking the offseason with great attitude and work ethic. Fellow Jaguars receiver Jakobi Meyers said, "When it all the way clicks for him, I really don't see how you stop him."

- The Jaguars possess one of their deepest receiving corps, featuring Meyers, Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter returning from injury. Yet Thomas remains the most important piece for the franchise's 2026 success and beyond.
