Round 7: Miami WR Jeff Thomas
Thomas is from East St. Louis, Illinois and was slated to be an invite to the Chiefs’ local pro day.
Thomas’ career is marred by the terrible quarterback play at the University of Miami. He has big-play ability, but he didn’t get a chance to showcase much of it outside of some impressive contested catches and some explosive run after the catch plays. He never got much of chance to be showcased in the offenses of either Mark Richt or Manny Diaz, recording no more than 35 receptions in a single season.
Luckily he got to show off his athleticism at the combine, running a 4.45 40-yard dash. There are some off-field issues to check into as Thomas was suspended for two games during the 2019 college football season.
