BTJ is going to be the one who's going to be running a lot of those deeper deeper plays... it was really Mac Jones, you know, in the rookie year, you know, when Trevor Lawrence got hurt that really what took Brian Thomas Jr. to that next level

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Deep-route specialist; 2023 breakout tied to Mac Jones, not Lawrence.

Projected to run deeper routes in Jacksonville offense; less likely to accumulate consistent target share compared to Parker Washington. Breakout in 2023 rookie year was tied to Mac Jones starting when Trevor Lawrence was injured; consistency with Lawrence in year two remains unproven. Role as deep-ball specialist limits target floor despite upside.
