Scouting Report: Strengths
- Thomas accelerates 0-to-60 and hits top speed fast enough to outrun angles. He’s also flexible and agile, able to keep the pedal to the floor as Thomas turns and weaves.
- Against defensive backs who are brave enough to play press, his initial quickness should allow him to escape the jam.
- Has good body strength to squirm out of tackles with the coordination to maneuver his frame between defenders.
- A versatile weapon, proving to be effective inside in the slot and outside on the perimeter. Makes plays at all levels of the field.
- Thomas can be nearly unbeatable on contested-catch opportunities, not only because of his length and explosive leaping ability but also because of his strong hands and outstanding body control.
- He’s at his best working in space, showing the quickness and vision of a return specialist. His stop-start ability allows him to create initial separation.
- Tracks the ball well downfield and shows good ball skills, including the ability to go up and high-point it in contested-catch situations.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Thomas lacks the twitch to create consistent separation, and despite his size and ability to track the ball downfield, Thomas isn’t great on contested catches.
- He’ll have to develop a better feel for sitting down against zone coverage.
- Thomas seems comfortable in traffic to the point where he doesn’t make the effort to create separation.
