Thomas' 140-yard, 1-TD preseason debut showcases elite speed and big-play upside.

Third-round WR made an impressive preseason debut with 5 catches for 140 yards and 1 TD, including a 97-yard touchdown on a stop-and-go route against Tennessee. Demonstrated elite speed that was a major calling card in college despite a 77.4 PFN WR Impact Score (No. 106 in FBS). Also returned a punt 39 yards, showcasing the high-level returning skill from his Mississippi State and LSU stints. Source notes his upside as a big-play weapon for Ben Johnson's offense showed up in his strong Saturday performance, making the third-round selection intriguing despite prior skepticism about the pick.
