Dylan competed with confidence, showed coachability throughout the session, and handled the pace of the combine well for his age, pointing to strong long-term upside.

Dylan is a versatile athlete who makes an impact on both sides of the ball as a wide receiver and defensive back. On offense, he runs precise routes, creates separation, and has reliable hands, consistently turning catches into big gains with his vision and agility after the catch. Defensively, Dylan shows excellent instincts, reading the quarterback and anticipating routes, allowing him to break on the ball quickly and make plays in coverage. He’s physical, competitive, and disciplined, able to tackle in space and disrupt plays at the line of scrimmage.

Who better next to be on the list than LaFell’s teammate Dylan Thomas Dylan Thomas 6'2" | 170 lbs | DB Iowa Colony | 2029 State TX . Thomas like LaFell is a two way player, but unlike LaFell I think his talent serves him best on the defensive side. Thomas is an absolute baller as a safety, showcasing the true “center field” ability you want from a free safety. Thomas has supreme field vision whether that is dropping back into coverage, or filling the gaps in run defense. And when it comes to tackling, don’t worry, Thomas has natural hard hitting talents, and shows a nice ability to rush the QB on designed blitzes. As a wideout Thomas demonstrates fantastic hands (which also helps him catch INTs as well as TDs) and really great separation ability. Overall he is an incredible all around talent, capable of impacting the game in multiple different ways.
