If anyone wants to go back...take a peek at the celebration after the return!! I have a long-shot theory about what happened. The dude was winded, then the team went on to congratulate Thomas by slapping the heck out of his helmet about 20+ times! It also appears that he even took a celebratory helmet to helmet shot.
...When you're at a point of gasping for air, a persons brain is also at risk of oxygen deprivation...
I'm not in the medical field or anything, but I can speak from experience, both playing and coaching football... The last thing you need, is someone slapping your head around, in that moment. IMO, I think Thomas was not only winded, but dazed from that point on.
He likely came back around in a good 10-15 minutes, but they just kept him out, as he had nothing to prove vs FIU.
