Shamarko Thomas is an ideal fit for an aggressive 4-3 defense relying on a Cover-3 match concept, offering versatility in coverage and run support.
Thomas projects as an immediate starter as a strong safety capable of playing in the box while offering coverage benefits; his ceiling is a Pro Bowl-caliber playmaker.
He would be a poor fit in a two-high safety system that frequently asks safeties to play deep halves, neutralizing his aggressive downhill play.
Thomas's physical tools and aggressive play style make him an ideal strong safety for a defense that values run support and versatility in its secondary.
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.
