Is This Wide Receiver A Future Indianapolis Superstar?
Brian Thomas Jr. is a promising wide receiver with the potential to become a superstar if drafted into the right system. He's from Walker High School in the Southeastern region of Louisiana and has been rated as a four-star prospect.
Thomas played college football at Louisiana State University where he made a significant leap forward in the past season. He recorded over 1,100 receiving yards, 68 receptions, and 17 touchdowns. He ranks third in LSU history with 17 touchdowns, following Ja'marr Chase(20) and Justin Jefferson(18).
Brian Thomas Jr. In Shane Steichen's Offense
Brian is an extremely talented athlete with an impressive size and build. He is 6'3 and weighs 209 pounds, although some sources suggest he may be even taller. His speed and length make him an ideal candidate for big plays and touchdowns, which is something the Indianapolis Colts were hoping to get with Alec Pierce, but he tends to perform inconsistently. Brian is known for his ability to run after catching the ball, which is a valuable skill in football.
During the combine, Brian displayed his athleticism with an impressive score of 9.97 on the Relative Athletic Score (RAS). If you watch his film, you'll notice that he has excellent route running skills and a lot of speed, a natural talent that cannot be taught. With players like Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr. on the team, the Colts would finally have a complete wide receiver room if they could add Brian to their roster.
I understand the hype surrounding a player like Brian Thomas Jr., but I think taking a chance on a talented athlete like him is worth it. If there's one thing I know about Chris Ballard, it's that he loves athletic players. The fact that none of the starters on the offensive line weigh
9 RAS is a clear indication of Ballard's preference for athleticism.
