description

Long before the Jaguars’ dominance on Oct. 20, 2024 allowed them the luxury of controlling the game through 19 straight running plays, Brian Thomas Jr. was running wild along the perimeter, making a name of his own. Reaching a top speed of 21.1 MPH in during a straight-line “go route” downfield, Thomas gets a step on New England’s celebrated lockdown cornerback before showcasing concentration on a 58-yard splash play. Already among the 2024 NFL Draft’s premier big-play creators, Thomas’ brilliance allowed for the joining of elite company, as he became just the 15th wideout since 2000 to produce at least 500 receiving yards in one’s first seven games. Such play allowed for Jacksonville’s 32-16 win over the Patriots, with Thomas recording five catches, 89 yards, one touchdown, and one 2-point conversion.
