Brian Thomas Jr. Is Being Overshadowed

While Malik Nabers has been dominating the NFL draft process, his LSU WR counterpart Brian Thomas deserves some of that spotlight.

Brian Thomas Jr. is larger in size and weight than his Nabers, but Thomas flashes some similarities. He has fluid motions in and out of his routes, and his hands are among the top of his class. Thomas has a great catch radius, and his strong, but soft hands are able to deliver when targeted in traffic. He has good overall body control and is able to make special catches downfield. 

He does however, lack the speed and overall elite athleticism that Nabers provides. Against NFL cornerbacks, he is going to need to rely on his technique opposed to leaning back on athleticism.  

Nonetheless, Brian Thomas Jr. is undoubtedly getting overshadowed. If you’re a team selecting in the top 20 picks of the draft and desperately need a wide receiver, this should be a no-brainer.
