Thomas is an undersized, yet fast and explosive EDGE. He arrived to Clemson with high expectations but never lived up to them. He has looked better the last few seasons after dropping weight. I think it was his Junior year when he hit 270 lbs, and is now down to the 240s. Thomas has the potential to be a solid rotational pass rusher like Dimukeje.
Xavier Thomas talked to USA Today earlier this month about his struggle with depression. He sounds like an amazing person and great teammate. https://archive.ph/0VExi
Cardinals 2 for 2 picking guys who were in their Top30 visits list
I’m down with this. I was hoping we’d snag an Edge late. Sounds like he’s probably a rotational player versus an every down guy, but that’s realistically what you’re looking at in the fifth. Sounds like the talent and athleticism are there, he just needs some help with technique, which I trust Gannon and co. to be able to work with him on.
Man Monti and Gannon really like speed on defense don’t they
Let’s go!
There were better EDGE’s available, we’ll see what he turns into.
