02Scheme fit
Ideal system
The Chicago Bears currently run a wide zone system emphasizing mobility and downfield blocking from the offensive line.
Left GuardRight GuardCenter
Best role
Thomas projects as a Year 1 interior swing backup, eventually working his way into a starting guard role.
Wrong fit
Thomas would be a poor fit for a gap power scheme that relies on bigger, more powerful interior linemen.
His versatility and technique make him a valuable depth piece for the Bears' offensive line, even if he doesn't immediately crack the starting lineup.
08College production
Offensive linemen do not accumulate box-score statistics, so there is no season table here. Games and starts are only listed when an official source publishes them.
