From the episode

Brian Thomas Jr... he's another one that just kept running that long X... Trevor Lawrence just doesn't excel in that sort of thing... he always likes eating up the underneath.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Thomas's deep X routes won't work with Lawrence's underneath preference

Brian Thomas Jr. relied heavily on deep X routes in college, similar to Marvin Harrison Jr. With Trevor Lawrence at quarterback, who doesn't excel at deep ball placement and prefers underneath throws, Thomas's college production may not translate. The scheme change and quarterback fit limit his fantasy upside despite his talent.
