| Thomas is a shifty back that can cut on a dime. He shows very good vision and a good burst once he’s sees daylight. Thomas just has excellent acceleration. He is quick and shows excellent elusiveness, especially in the open field. Thomas can run between the tackles but is better suited to run wide because of his good speed and vision. He is also a good receiver out of the backfield. |
