Thought you were impressed by wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.’s first touchdown catch with the Jacksonville Jaguars?
Just wait until you see the All-22 angle.
As Miami defensive tackle Zach Sieler rounded the edge on a stunt rush and neared Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Lawrence stepped Sieler’s incoming hit to deliver a pristine pass to Thomas on a crossing route into the back of the end zone.
Thomas cleared the goal line inside the left hash as Lawrence let the ball go. It flew over three Dolphins coverage defenders’ heads and into Thomas’ hands, who completed the grab in toe-tapping fashion approaching the back-left boundary for six points.

“That’s just us and trusting it and me trusting he’s going to get there and him trusting I’m going to put it in the right spot,” Lawrence described the play after Jacksonville’s 20-17 loss to Miami. “And you see he made a great play, so it was awesome.”
Thomas, the Jaguars’ No. 23 overall selection in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, caught four passes over as many targets for 46 yards and the score in his debut with Jacksonville.
