Round 7 | Jeff Thomas, Miami
Like the majority of the receivers mentioned, Thomas falls under the same category of a big play waiting to happen whenever he touches the football.
He might not be the biggest receiver (5-foot-8 and 178 pounds), but he displays the ability to get open with his clean releases at the line of scrimmage, vertical speed, solid ball tracking skills and explosive traits in the open field to take it to the house.
In 34 games for the Hurricanes, Thomas had 83 catches for 1,316 yards (15.9 yards per catch) and eight touchdowns. He also added 14 punt returns for 265 yards (18.9 yards per return) and one touchdown, as well as 54 kick returns for 268 yards (22.6 YPR).
