Julius Thomas is the big gain for the Jacksonville Jaguars this offseason. The highest paid player on the roster, Thomas is expected to provide a reliable option for young quarterback Blake Bortles and spark the offense.
That’s a lot of pressure on a tight end who specializes solely as a pass rusher, but this is the state that the Jaguars find themselves in.
Make no mistake, the offense ultimately rests on the shoulders of Bortles, but Thomas is the leverage the team is using to get Bortles to the next level.
The most appealing part of the prolific tight end’s game is his scoring.
