What the analysts are saying
- "From a football standpoint, there isn't enough there to warrant a draft pick, but Thomas has rare size, speed and athletic traits and that might be enough to hear his name called on Day 3 of the draft."
- Lance Zierlein, NFL.com - "Has awesome physical skills but is a long way from being a polished football player." - Draft Analyst
