The Commanders historically operate a Fangio-style two-high safety system that leverages versatility in the secondary to create complex coverage shells.
Thomas projects as a Year 1 special teams contributor with the ceiling of a versatile, rotational safety capable of playing in multiple alignments.
He would be a poor fit in a true single-high system that demands elite speed and range from its deep safety.
His size and tackling ability make him a valuable asset closer to the line of scrimmage, especially against the run, but his 4.65 forty limits his deep coverage ceiling.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
