Jaguars HC just revealed surprising reason for Brian Thomas Jr.'s downfield surge

After an electrifying rookie campaign, Brian Thomas Jr. was expected to take his game to the next level in 2025. However, a slow start to the season eventually led to chatter about a potential sophomore slump. To make matters worse, the former LSU Tiger suffered an ankle sprain that forced him to miss a few games. The good news is that it looks like the time off helped him put it all together, as he's gone on to once again be a playmaker for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Although Thomas had a modest output in this first game back from injury, he's hauled in a combined 13 passes for 153 yards with one touchdown the past two weeks.
