Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. was nominated for the NFL’s Rookie of the Week award for his eight-catch, 86-yard showing in Jacksonville’s 10-6 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 14, the league announced Tuesday.
Thomas previously got looks for the honor in Weeks 1, 4, 5 and 7. He combined to post 20 receptions for 344 yards and four touchdowns in that stretch, against the Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots.
Jacksonville’s No. 23 overall selection in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, Thomas has logged 54 receptions for 851 yards and six touchdowns this season. His 15.8 yards per reception rank No. 10 among qualifying NFL pass-catchers through Week 14.
Thomas is 11 receptions and 15 yards away from breaking the Jaguars’ rookie receiving records, 64 receptions and 865 yards, set by Justin Blackmon in 2012. His six touchdowns are tied with Allen Hurns’ 2014 team record.
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, San Francisco running back Isaac Guerendo, New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Tyrice Knight were nominated alongside Thomas for Week 14’s Rookie of the Week honor.
