Which sophomore will have the biggest rise in Jacksonville?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Jacksonville Jaguars fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Jaguars fans — which second-year player do you expect to be most improved in 2025?
Of course, the *best* second-year player is Brian Thomas Jr., no questions asked. To dramatically improve from his record-setting 2024 campaign would be an astonishing feat. (You could say the same thing about kicker Cam Little.)
Last year’s second-round pick, Maason Smith, is a strong candidate for this survey. He faced a bumpy road in his first season due to a lack of a collaborative vision between the coaching staff and the front office. Still, Smith tallied 2 sacks and 3 tackles for loss in his final three games last season. Perhaps that was a sign of things to come.
What are your thoughts, Jaguars fans? Are you expecting to see even more fireworks from someone like Thomas Jr. or Little, or does another name stand out? Let us know in the comments!
