From the video
Brian Thomas Jr. very similar to Lad McConkey, had the phenomenally good rookie season finishing as the wide receiver four... Based on the early reporting from the Jaguars, it seems like Brian Thomas Jr. is kind of just going to be like their deep threat. He's going to play a lot in 12 personnel. He's going to play a lot in 11 personnel. But a lot of the short area stuff is now going to go to Parker Washington and Kendrick Bourne Myers.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalUsage
Role reduced to deep threat; short-area targets shifting to Washington, Bourne, Meyers.
Thomas had a phenomenal rookie season finishing as WR4 with 133 targets in 14 games. This year he only had 91 targets in 14 games, and both his yards per target and yards per route run declined. Early Jaguars reporting suggests Thomas will be used primarily as a deep threat in 12 and 11 personnel, with short-area targets now going to Parker Washington, Kendrick Bourne, and Jakobi Meyers—a significant role reduction from his rookie year when he was adding tons of yards after the catch.
