Squatty and strong, Thomas will need to prove he can slide inside to the slot after a career of playing outside. He’s both fast and quick. He plays with a good feel for route development, which explains his on-ball production. Thomas will lean and lunge at times, diminishing his balance in coverage, and he misses interception opportunities because of a lack of eye balance between the receiver and quarterback. He can phase and crowd routes, and is physical through the catch try. Thomas needs to play tougher in run support to make the transition to nickel, but he’s talented enough to earn a roster spot.
