Liam Coen: Brian Thomas Jr. has "freakish" talents and traits
New Jaguars head coach Liam Coen has been impressed with one of the team's young receivers. Brian Thomas Jr. led all rookies in 2024 with 1,282 receiving yards and 10 receiving touchdowns, also finishing with 87 receptions. He was a Pro Bowler and finished No. 4 in AP offensive rookie of the year voting. Coen told reporters in his Monday press conference that he's enjoyed working with the young receiver during the offseason program. 'He's got freakish talents. He's got some freakish traits,' Coen said, via transcript from the team. 'Just his attention to detail in the meeting room setting, being able to answer questions, you see some of his personality come to life as well. But you see, when we get into competitive situations, there's definitely a little bit of an uptick. You get the feedback from some of these guys, especially when it's scripted, they're just kind of, like, again? Again? So, we start doing more call-it, and you start to see especially 'BT' come to life. 'The ability for a big dude like him to be able to operate in the slot, run some of the choice and option routes, but also be able to go vertical and catch the ball down the field, he's been a real pleasure to work with so far.' After playing much of last season with Mac Jones at quarterback, Thomas could be in a good position to excel as a second-year player with Coen calling the plays and Trevor Lawrence behind center tossing him passes.

Jacksonville Jaguars' Liam Coen on what he's seen from Travis Hunter at cornerback
Jacksonville Jaguars' Liam Coen on what he's seen from Travis Hunter at cornerback Throughout OTAs, what has Jacksonville Jaguars' head coach Liam Coen seen from Travis Hunter at the cornerback position? Throughout OTAs, what has Jacksonville Jaguars' head coach Liam Coen seen from Travis Hunter at the cornerback position? The Jaguars held their seventh OTA practice on Monday, and based on what Coen has said previously, along with some practice highlights, we know that Hunter has spent at least two of those practices at cornerback. This was to be expected with Coen and James Gladstone mentioning after the draft that, early on, Hunter would see more snaps at wide receiver. "Milo (secondary coach Ron Milus) came up to me after practice and said, 'Can we have him more?'" Coen said after Monday's practice. "That's a good thing. We were in the red area last Friday, and he didn't end up making any plays on the ball, but just the movement skills in some of the man coverages, the feel in zone, you can definitely see how natural it is for him." With his abilities at wide receiver as well, Hunter brings impressive ball skills to the cornerback position, and also a unique perspective with playing on offense as well. During his Heisman season in 2024, he was stingy in coverage, allowing a completion rate of only 56% and while only being targeted 41 times on the year, he still managed to come away with four interceptions and seven pass breakups, according to PFF. While Hunter has spent more time at wide receiver on the practice field, he's been in the defensive meeting rooms and learning the playbook and terminology since he arrived in Jacksonville. "Still learning, still growing, still trying to learn the calls as much as possible," Coen added, "but when you see him on the actual 7-on and team setting, he doesn't look out of place by any means." Coen also mentioned last week that for the time being, Hunter will spend the entirety of practices on either the offensive or defensive side of the ball, depending on the day, but in-season, there will be practices where he plays both sides.

Updates and highlights from Jacksonville Jaguars' latest OTA practice
Updates and highlights from Jacksonville Jaguars' latest OTA practice Stay up to date with highlights and insights from the Jacksonville Jaguars' latest OTA practice. The Jacksonville Jaguars are back on the practice field on Monday for their seventh OTA practice of Phase III. Below we have highlights and updates from the media members who are in attendance. As the Jaguars implement a new system on offense, as Liam Coen said following the first practice, Jacksonville is still in the "learning phase" as they build towards September. Right now, the emphasis is on fundamentals, technique, and communication as the playbook gets installed. From Week 1 to Week 2 of practices--the Jaguars are currently in Week 3--Coen saw noticeable progress. 'I thought (the day went) better than probably expected, that way in terms of bodies on the ground and practicing cleaner," Coen said after last Tuesday's practice, via Big Cat Country. "It was much cleaner than day one, let's just say. When you're just trying to come in and get it going again after a few days off, I thought it was definitely cleaner. Was it perfect? No, but I thought it was better than the previous Monday, if you will.' The defense is undergoing its own change under new coordinator Anthony Campanile. Like any play caller, Campanile has his core principles that he will build this defense around, but this is also going to be a malleable scheme that adjusts quickly to what the opponent is doing and is built to maximize the skill sets on the roster. Of course, scheme matters, but equally as important to Campanile is that his players have the right play style as well. "The most important thing when you talk about defense is your play-style," said Campanile earlier this offseason. "My vision for us defensively, we want to be a tough, fast, physical, violent at the point of attack team. "What does that mean? That means that you got guys who take pride in not getting blocked. Everybody talks about running to the ball, I don't think there's another person in the world who believes in running to the ball more than I do. But you can't run to the ball if you don't get off blocks, and that is something that's going to be celebrated in our room." Please note that this article will be updated as practice unfolds.
