(FS) Earl Thomas -- Texas
























*#12 *5-10 *195lbs *4.45/40 *2010/JR

FREE SAFETY

Strengths

He is an underclassman who declared for the NFL draft early. And whose play indicates he would have
benefited greatly from, at least, another year of seasoning at the collegiate level!

Weaknesses
Displays poor tackling skills (doesn't wrap up, uses shoulders & lunges, instead of running through ball carriers)

Hesitant delivering blows (doesn't initiate contact)

Where is his run support (too often standing over pile after the play)

Lacks natural instincts and consistent recovery speed in pass defense

He disappears for long stretches of the game (where are the consistent big plays)

Durability concerns with thin build (especially in lower leg area - where power is generated)

Projected Round
1st Round

My Value Board
Undrafted Free Agent

Summary
He is a vastly overrated prospect. Whose play on the field doesn't measure up to his press clippings
