<p>From the 2024 season into 2025, [player_tooltip player_id='1658031' first='Isiah' last='Thomas Jr']. continued to separate himself as a dynamic athlete with elite quickness. His fast feet and loose hips allow him to change direction effortlessly, making him difficult to contain in space. He consistently shows the ability to make the first defender miss, and once he accelerates, his breakaway speed becomes a major weapon. His suddenness and agility make him a constant threat whenever the ball is in his hands.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In 2025, Thomas Jr. showed improved confidence and efficiency as a playmaker, maximizing his touches and turning routine plays into explosive gains. His vision and decisiveness improved, allowing him to attack open lanes more effectively and finish runs with speed. As he continues to refine his route detail and add strength, his physical tools and explosiveness project extremely well, positioning him as a high-impact offensive weapon with continued upward momentum.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='984469' first='Colton' last='Francis'] made noticeable progress from 2024 to 2025, particularly in how his physical tools translated to on-field production. He brings good size and a competitive edge to the receiver position, consistently showing strong hands and the ability to elevate and win the ball at its highest point. His body control and balance allow him to stay composed through contact, and his footwork in and out of breaks showed encouraging development.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>During the 2025 season, Francis looked more explosive and confident in his movements, with improved route sharpness and tempo. He competed aggressively on contested targets and showed a growing understanding of how to use his frame to create separation. As he continues to develop verified speed and consistency, his physical profile and competitiveness project well at the next level, making him a high-upside receiver with clear momentum.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='632970' first='Malcolm' last='Mason']'s physical traits stood out in both seasons, but his improvement from 2024 to 2025 was evident in how effectively he applied them. His long frame, smooth stride, and natural body control allow him to stretch the field and track the football with ease. He consistently demonstrated the ability to adjust to throws in the air, using his length and timing to finish plays downfield and in contested situations.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In 2025, Mason took another step forward by playing with greater strength and intention at the catch point. He used his size more consistently to shield defenders and secure the ball through contact. His route execution also became more polished, allowing his speed and length to be even more effective. Continued strength development will only enhance his ability to dominate physically, but his upward progression highlights a receiver who is learning how to maximize his natural tools.</p>

His fluid movement patterns allow him to adjust naturally to the ball in the air.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p class="text-gray-700">In 2025, Jaxon continued to develop as a more confident and dynamic playmaker.
