Jacksonville Jaguars’ wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. made the latest top 25 under 25 list ahead of the 2025 NFL season.

On a recent episode of ‘Check the Mic,’ Sam Monson dropped his list of the top 25 players who are under 25 years old. Coming in at No. 18 on the list was Thomas.

In what was a loaded 2024 wide receiver draft class, Thomas wasn’t only the most productive of the bunch, but he was one of the most productive wideouts in the NFL.

Thomas finished his rookie season with 1,282 receiving yards, which was the third-most in the league, trailing only Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson. Thomas also had 10 touchdowns and averaged almost 15 yards per catch, per PFF.

Going beyond the numbers, what also made Thomas’ rookie season so impressive was that defenses knew the ball was coming his way, and the Jaguars also had up-and-down quarterback play without Trevor Lawrence, yet Thomas continued to put up numbers.

This season with the Jaguars, we will see Thomas’ role expand under Liam Coen. That not only refers to potential targets, but also to how Thomas is utilized, with him lining up in the slot more often, along with attacking all levels of the field and doing so in a variety of ways.

This can not only create more opportunities for Thomas but also for other pass catchers with the mismatches he can help create.

“He’s got those freakish talents, man,” Coen said of Thomas during OTAs. “He’s got some freakish traits. Just his attention to detail in the meeting room setting. Being able to answer questions. You see some of his personality come to life as well. But you see, when we get into competitive situations, there’s definitely a little bit of an uptick.

“The ability for a big dude like him to be able to operate in the slot, run some of the choice and option routes, but also be able to go vertical and catch the ball downfield, he’s been a real pleasure to work with.”
