The Jacksonville Jaguars see Travis Hunter as a sports-altering talent and expect him to have an impact on both offense and defense. But as talented as the two-way star is, he won't be their No. 1 receiver. That label would go to Brian Thomas Jr., who took the league by storm as a rookie and is expected to make a leap in Year 2. Throughout the offseason, the 2024 first-round selection has gotten rave reviews, and an NFL analyst just heaped massive praise on him just before training camp.
The Athletic drew up a list of potential breakout candidates for each NFL team, and Jeff Howe picked Thomas for Jacksonville, noting that the sophomore wideout can take off if the Trevor Lawrence-Liam Coen pairing pans out as expected.
