Unfortunately, he severely regressed, earning 1.3 fewer targets per game (7.8 vs. 6.5) and posting a 7.3% lower receiving touchdown rate (11.5% vs. 4.2%). However, the former LSU star is still Jacksonville's most talented wide receiver and led the team in targets per game last season (6.5). While I would rather draft Parker Washington over him, no one should be surprised if Thomas has a bounce-back year with some touchdown luck.
