Matt Mosley Predicts a Break Out Year for Thomas

[cochise]

I saw a drill on NFL Access with Colt throwing the ball today and it involved Thomas, Mitchell and Elias and Elias caught only like 2 0f 6 Thomas dropped a couple but the Mitchell kid had glue on his hands. I like his size also, definitly a prototype size receiver. Could he be the Horton out of the draft this year?

I hope so. Like you said, he has good hands and size. I think the biggest thing for him is learning the shorter and more intermediate routes. He was used mostly as a longball threat in college. So far, I've heard nothing but good things about him.

Dude has to make the team first. He's a bit of a longshot if you ask me.

That would be nice, however a lot of talk is that he needs a good bit of work learning and running the route tree. He was mostly a vertical threat at Nevada.
