As Steelers Seek Receiver Help, Jaguars ‘Listening On Calls’ For WR Brian Thomas Jr.

Coming off of a terrific rookie season that saw him haul in 87 passes for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns, the future with the Jacksonville Jaguars looked very bright for wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.

With first-year head coach Liam Coen joining the Jaguars this offseason, Thomas was expected to explode offensively, becoming a true No. 1 weapon for quarterback Trevor Lawrence in Coen’s offensive scheme, which he honed under Sean McVay early in his NFL career.

Through the first half of the 2025 season, though, Thomas has been anything but that true No. 1 receiver and budding star.
