Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. finishes 4th in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting

Jacksonville Jaguars’ wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. finished fourth in the AP’s Offensive Rookie of the Year voting.

Thomas was one of 10 rookies on the offensive side of the ball who received votes.

He finished behind Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, and as expected, Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels ran away with the victory.

Below is a breakdown of the voting:

Thomas put together a highly impressive first season. He was a focal point of the Jaguars’ offense with 129 targets and reliable as well, catching 67% of the passes his way.

He totaled 1,282 receiving yards–the third-most among receivers behind only Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson–and he averaged 14.7 yards per catch and had 10 touchdowns.

Among the rookie class, which was loaded at the receiver position, Thomas totaled the most yards, touchdowns, and was first yards per route run.

With Thomas’ speed and route running ability, he can impact the game at all levels of the field. Adding to Thomas’ impressive production was that defenses knew the ball was going his direction and still struggled to slow him down.
