Brian Thomas Jr reveals how Trevor Lawrence's role in Jaguars has changed, 'Becoming more of a...'
'Brian Thomas Jr. sees the changes in Trevor Lawrence. The former 1st overall pick has taken more of a leadership role, he's bolstered his communication, & worked overtime to be on the same page with his wide receivers. New head coach Liam Cohen was brought in to help Lawrence reach his full potential, & the pressure is on. It's now or never, & @brian.thomas11 thinks this year is the year! @thepivot training camp tour on @youtube & all streaming platforms,' an account posted on social media.
What Brian Thomas Jr said
'I met him in high school, and from the first time I ever watched him throw a football, I was like, 'That's what it's supposed to look like. Then you see the statuesque quarterback build, you're like, 'That's what it's supposed to look like.' That's why he's drafted first overall. That's why he wins the national championship at Clemson, and it's also why Liam Coen is now here. It's about getting Trevor Lawrence to reach his full potential,' host Ryan Clark opened the interview.
When asked about what could help Lawrence deliver a career-high performance this season, Thomas replied, 'He has taken on more of a leadership role, and he's taking the next step. I feel like he's taking the next step in his game, whether it's building the chemistry with us: me and all the other receivers. Just talking to us a lot more about how we see certain routes, how he likes it, or how we might like it versus a certain cover."
He added, 'He might see it this way and stuff like that, but we might tell him a certain way. Just finding that point where we can agree on stuff like that. I would say that's probably the biggest thing. Just becoming more of a leader and seeing how we see things, with what's the best way for us to execute these certain plays versus certain coverages. I would say that's probably the biggest thing. I feel like this year is the year for him.'
The Jaguars are set to face the Miami Dolphins on Saturday, August 23, for their next preseason outing.

Skyy Moore moves from 4-time Super Bowl-winning team to 5-time Super Bowl-winning team
(Image via Getty: Skyy Moore) When an NFL team doesn't reach its three-peat, it looks for flaws that could have been the reason for it. The 4-time Super Bowl-winning team, the Kansas City Chiefs, are concentrating on their 2022 NFL Draft's second round, 54th overall pick–Skyy Moore. Despite being a two-time Super Bowl champion at the start of his NFL career, Moore only delivered–43 receptions for 494 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown in 36 games. This underproduction could have been a key factor in the changes the Chiefs want to make before they enter the 2025 NFL season. As a result, they have decided to trade their wide receiver Skyy Moore and a 2027 seventh-round pick to their Super Bowl rivals, the San Francisco 49ers. In exchange, the Chiefs will acquire a 2027 sixth-round draft choice from the 5-time Super Bowl-winning team. San Francisco 49ers need help in wide receiver room Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports says it's a win-win situation for the wideout Skyy Moore and the San Francisco 49ers. Moore goes back to square one and can write a new NFL chapter with another playoff-level contending team–while the 49ers get to revitalize their wide receiver room. The 49ers will be without their star wideouts, Brandon Aiyuk and Demarcus Robinson, in the early weeks of the 2025 season. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A Tree Blocked This Garage for Years - See What's Inside! Tips and Tricks Undo Aiyuk is recovering from a knee injury. Robinson is suspended for three games for violating the NFL's Substance Abuse policy. Their other wide receiver, Jauan Jennings, is suffering from a calf injury and wants to be traded if there are no changes to his contract (he was the second-leading receiver last season). Rookie wideout Jordan Watkins is suffering from a high-ankle sprain since he played against the Denver Broncos in the NFL preseason's first game. Wide receiver Jacob Cowing is dealing with a hamstring injury since the first practice of the training camp. Skyy Moore could be the answer to these hurdles. But before we even begin the drum-rolling, who informed cyberspace about the trade in the first place? NFL Insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Mike Garafolo announce Skyy Moore trade on X On August 21, Ian Rapoport, National Insider for NFL Network , wrote on his X: 'Trade! The #Chiefs have traded Skyy Moore to the #49ers in a swap of future 6th and 7th round picks.' Tom Pelissero, American Football Reporter for NFL Network, wrote on his X: 'Trade! The #Chiefs send Skyy Moore to the #49ers. The teams will swap sixth- and seventh-round picks in 2027.' Mike Garafolo, NFL Insider, wrote on his X: 'RT @RapSheet: Trade! The #Chiefs have traded Skyy Moore to the #49ers in 6/7 pick swap.'
