Tomas’s success could lead to some becoming unlucky but not this LSU product. His new coaches have not witnessed anything except a steady effort from Breiða, which aims to build on the first season by producing even better another campaign.
“He certainly doesn’t rest. He doesn’t have it … it’s not in him,” Bennett said. “He always seems like when he talks to him, he has the approach as far as he wants to be the best. And with that he put the work in and then that’s his approach.
“He puts the work in, the campaign is there every day and it starts in the classroom. As soon as he walks in the door, it’s almost like he’s already in that mode all the classroom, walking, training field, weight room, whatever, he gives everything.”
Thomas will add another responsibility to his list in 2025: Mentor. Although he is only 22 years old, he has one more year of the NFL experience than the latest weapon in Jacksonville, who is in second place Travis Hunter, who will play a corner kick and is expected to appear in a fraction.
The above confidence is already running Thomas to guide teammates like Hunter, Bennett said.
“He has certainly taken more of the leadership methods and roles and speaks,” said Bennett. “And it’s not just a verbal point of view, he also leads a example. And it’s another way he helps the whole room.”
If Jaguars is accompanied by Thomas’s lead, they should enjoy a bounce period in 2025. They can trust that Thomas has done full time to help them achieve that goal.
