No. 221: FIU CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver
Like the other defensive backs taken earlier, Thomas-Oliver offers plus speed and athleticism. He ran a 4.48 second 40-yard dash at the combine. He also posted a 34 inch vertical and a 127 inch broad jump.
As one would expect from a former wide receiver, Thomas-Oliver has solid ball skills. He had two interceptions and 18 pass breakups over the last two seasons. Thomas-Oliver is also much more physical than your average cornerback and isn’t afraid to get his nose dirty – he posted seven tackles for a loss, as well.
At 6-foot-2 and 184 pounds, Thomas-Oliver has the requisize size to play outside cornerback in the NFL. He projects as a backup behind Donte Jackson and Troy Pride.
