Brian Thomas Jr. made a one-handed catch deep down the sideline against cornerback Montaric Brown during padded practice, notably the first time Thomas Jr. and Trevor Lawrence connected on a long ball during team drills in training camp. Head coach Liam Coen praised the play and Thomas Jr.'s overall performance: "When you can throw the ball over somebody's head, it's a threat, man. And it's something that we need. We need not just him to be able to do that but win on some of the other reps. He's run a lot of routes out here that maybe weren't getting targeted to him that he's won as well that I've been pleased with. So, I think he brings everybody up. It elevates everybody's game when BT is playing at his highest level."
