Watch Brian Thomas Jr.'s first NFL reception with Jacksonville Jaguars

Another star from LSU’s offense in 2023 made his NFL debut recently. This time it was Brian Thomas Jr. with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Thomas was targeted two times during the Jaguars preseason game against the Chiefs and he hauled in one catch for 41 yards.

Thomas Jr. was a key contributor for LSU last season as he and Malik Nabers were two of the best wide receivers in the country. Thomas Jr. had 68 receptions for 1,177 yards and 17 touchdowns. Those stats led to him being the No. 23 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jags needed some help at wide receiver for Trevor Lawrence as Calvin Ridley left in the offseason. Thomas comes in at 6-foot-4, 205-pounds and he provides a deep threat for the Jags that they have been searching for. The future looks bright for Thomas in Jacksonville.
