I texted my UT friend and said, “wtf were you guys thinking letting go of Jakobe Thomas?”

He said he wasn’t anywhere close to this good last year.
 
If he’s not at least a 4th round pick…I’ll just punt the NFL draft for the foreseeable future because I clearly don’t know what NFL teams are looking for at safety. His tape is **** good.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills watching him play and not get a sniff of the Thorpe Award or, seemingly, the first round of the draft...maybe I don't know what I am looking at and he's super slow because other than that I genuinely have no clue (and he looked plenty fast on that Pick 6 against NC State).

Atleast I think he should test well. That will be major and he will atleast check that box. Combine that with film and hopefully its enough, these scouts and teams dont like late bloomer players who werent on their radar before.

But being plus size and hopefully running a good time will help him. He isnt a deep safety but I think everything else he is pretty good at. Physical and can play TE and in box..
