When did we pick this guy up?
I was just surfing on ESPN, checked out our roster and saw that we had him. I remember him coming out in the draft in 2004 because there was alot of hype surrounding him. Anyone know why he was cut in Dallas and Green Bay?
Im pretty pumped when I read this about the guy..
" BIO: Three-time All Big Sky selection that finished his senior season with 30/4/11 after a junior campaign of 16/0/6, missing six games with a knee injury. Posted 33/6/2 and 33/5/18 as a freshman and sophomore, respectively. Began his career at Washington.
POSITIVES: Nice-sized cornerback with outstanding size-speed numbers. Fluid reversing off the line, has the ability to flip his hips and then quickly breaks on the pass. Runs with opponents anywhere on the field, smooth changing direction and fights to defend the throw. Physically beats down opposing receivers and defends the run.
NEGATIVES: A bit quick coming out of his backpedal. Not instinctive, guesses wrong and slow turning back to the pass.
ANALYSIS: Physically Thomas competes with any cornerback in this draft though he must improve his instincts and anticipation. The combination of size, speed and strength make him enticing as a press-cover cornerback.
PROJECTION: Mid Second Round "
Should be fun to keep track of him if nothing else..
