Solomon Thomas is a versatile defensive lineman who can fit into multiple fronts, excelling in schemes that prioritize athletic disruptors able to play multiple gaps and rush the passer.
High-impact starter with the versatility to play multiple positions along the defensive line, initially contributing as a pass-rush specialist from the interior.
A purely 3-4 two-gapping nose tackle scheme that asks him to anchor against double teams and occupy blockers rather than penetrate.
His blend of size, strength, and quickness makes him a schematic chameleon, particularly valuable to aggressive, multiple-front defenses.
Selected #3 overall in Round 1 of the 2017 NFL Draft by San Francisco 49ers out of Stanford.
