Did you watch the end of the Daniel Thomas highlight video? It closes with the message that Daniel Thomas is ELITE.
After 3 years of patient hope, I conclude that he not only is not elite, he is probably not good enough to make it as a 3rd string backup RB in the NFL.
The danger in watching these highlight videos is that watching a number of selected good plays can give a totally false impression of the player. All of them will have good video highlights but the scouts who have the time to watch everything will be able to form a more balanced opinion.
