He's a very good athlete for his size, explosive with excellent start-and-go ability, and his speed is also very good for his size, though he could use a bit more decisive and consistent acceleration.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, for his physique, Thomas Jr is super fluid with excellent body control. His footwork is quality, and he possesses good quickness, though BTJ is more of a \"fluid mover.\"<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He's powerful, but there's room to gain a bit more muscle mass to become more dominant while maintaining his athleticism.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to his footwork, Brian has a nice range of releases, but against press coverage, he still has work to do in his separation because he needs to improve in using his arms and strength to develop his speed. <br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He needs to progress in technique to break effectively and in the fluidity of his hips, but the potential is definitely there, and I've observed more than I thought I would in this area.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Against off-man <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">his ability to stack (Stacking is an excellent way to help slower receivers gain vertical advantage on the field. Once the receiver has managed to stack the defender, he controls the situation) is already very good, allowing him to create a lot of separation thanks to his speed.<br \/>He already manages changes in direction well, and fake shoulder or head movements, but he still needs to progress in execution aggressiveness and upper body flexibility to make them more incisive.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thomas Jr est excellent contre la couverture de zone, il comprend tr\u00e8s bien les nuances de tempos \u00e0 utiliser dans ses trac\u00e9s. Il a aussi une tr\u00e8s bonne compr\u00e9hension de la couverture de zone et sait quand asseoir son trac\u00e9 ou cr\u00e9er off-script. Je trouve que son jeu contre la couverture de zone est tr\u00e8s sous-cot\u00e9 car il a souvent \u00e9t\u00e9 un peu oubli\u00e9 par Jayden Daniels lorsqu\u2019il courrait des trac\u00e9s int\u00e9rieurs alors qu\u2019il \u00e9tait compl\u00e8tement seul.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BTJ est capable \u00e0 mon sens d\u2019attaquer les 3 niveaux (court\/interm\u00e9diaire\/long) m\u00eame s&rsquo; il a encore du boulot sur le 2\u00e8me, ce qui passera par un d\u00e9veloppement de son arbre de trac\u00e9s. Il a toutes les qualit\u00e9s athl\u00e9tiques et d\u2019IQ pour d\u00e9velopper son arbre de trac\u00e9 rapidement surtout sur le jeu interm\u00e9diaire et sur ce qu&rsquo;il sait d\u00e9j\u00e0 faire il le fait vraiment tr\u00e8s bien.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the moment, his curls and go routes are what he does best, I like what is hinted at with some cross routes, but I would have liked to see a bit more.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BTJ's ball skills are impressive. He has excellent ball tracking, terrifying hand\/foot\/eye coordination for his size, very good and solid hands even if there are a few drops due to lack of concentration. His catch radius is interesting, and he knows how to attack the ball at the highest point of the catch, but he still lacks a bit of aggressiveness in this area.<br \/>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BTJ is a legitimate threat with the ball in his hands, his athletic qualities combined with a transition from receiver to runner and terrifying changes of direction for his size mean he is capable of gaining yards after the catch if the opportunity arises. His changes of direction are quite crazy for a receiver of his size, and we can also foresee use in plays like jet sweeps for him.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trait I like the most about him is his constant effort; he always gives 100%.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nombre de fois o\u00f9 je l\u2019ai vu parcourir 50 yards pleine vitesse pour aller bloquer un adversaire pour que Jayden Daniels puisse entrer dans la end zone. Son run block est tr\u00e8s bon, il est puissant, actif et volontaire, sa technique est correcte et tout \u00e7a combin\u00e9 font qu\u2019il est redoutable dans ce domaine.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brian Thomas Jr. is a highly underrated prospect because he's in the shadow of Malik Nabers, but he could potentially be the future No.1 of an NFL franchise if he manages to develop a significant route tree and refine certain points. I see him hardly becoming worse than a very good No.2 in the NFL.<br \/>Considering his young age (21 years) and the athletic qualities he possesses relative to his elite size for the position, I wouldn't be surprised if a team takes a chance on him in the first round to develop him.\u00a0<br \/>BTJ does not have a lot of hype at the time of writing this scouting report, but when the combine comes around, watch out...<br \/>I evaluate Brian Thomas Jr. as a prospect whose value lies between the end of the first round and the beginning of the second.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian Thomas JR, WR, LSU (Junior) De retour pour cette \u00e9dition 2024 de la Draft NFL, l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe de The Trick Play vous propose \u00e0 nouveau de vous plonger au c\u0153ur de l&rsquo;\u00e9v\u00e8nement gr\u00e2ce aux scouting reports de Rayane et Valentin.
