Thomas is a former fifth-round pick who has spent the last four seasons with the Jaguars, playing primarily on special teams. He’s started just two of 56 games for his career and has totaled 61 career tackles.

Thomas has played the Jags' fourth most snaps at safety this season. He is one of three defensive contributors to land on I.R. Tuesday. Thomas was the No. 157 overall pick of the draft. The Jags are getting their tank on hard down the stretch. 

Via draft maven Dane Brugler from The Athletic, "A two-year starter at Auburn, Thomas (5'10/215) was the boundary safety in defensive coordinator Kevin Steele’s man-heavy scheme. While Derrick Brown was the crown jewel of Auburn’s 2016 recruiting class, Thomas was the lowest-ranked signee, but he quickly changed the narrative as a freshman, picking off Jalen Hurts twice in his first Iron Bowl appearance. Thomas has NFL speed and loves to hunt, but he must consistently trust his vision to unlock his explosive qualities and make plays on the ball (only six passes defended in 26 starts the last two years). Although he competes with energy and violence as a run defender, he finds himself spending too much time hung up on blockers and needs to improve his discipline as a finisher. Overall, Thomas is not the type of player you want to trust as the last line of defense, but he competes with range, confidence and toughness – traits that should shine on special teams coverage."
