Thomas stood out as a defensive back with his smooth backpedal and ability to break on the ball quickly. He demonstrated excellent speed, fluid hips, and control when opening up to run with receivers. Thomas has the ability to stay in the receiver’s pocket and shadow their movements, making him tough to beat in coverage. His physicality at the line of scrimmage disrupted routes, forcing receivers off their timing and creating opportunities for the defense. His technique and ability to recover quickly give him a significant edge, cementing his reputation as a lockdown defender.
Thomas had an excellent performance at the combine. The 5’11 157-pound defensive back was locking down receivers throughout the camp. He has very good athletic ability to keep up with the athletic wide receivers at the event. During the individual coaching, Thomas showed his attentiveness and learning ability. He also shined in the 1 on 1 drills. Whether it was off coverage or a press jam, he showed his physicality with the receivers. He has a very good back pedal, and good ball tracking skills. He always keeps his eyes on the ball. Thomas was good in both zone and man coverage; however, his man coverage was shown more due to the nature of the drills. He had a great performance, and I’m excited to watch him perform next year for Pueblo West.
Thomas is a corner that has been making some noise this offseason and turning some heads in the process. He has been lockdown taking away his receiver completely and showing good footwork. He is good at reading through the receiver to the QB’s eyes and making a play on the ball. He is quick to come up and make tackles in the open field as well. He will be a stock watch player to keep on the radar this season.
