2025 Projections
Jets add big corner in Round 3
The Jets selected Thomas in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 73rd overall.
ANALYSIS
Thomas (6-foot-2, 197 pounds) was a standout starter at Florida State and has a prototypical build to play press coverage on the boundary, especially when you factor in his 32 and 3/8-inch arms. Indeed, Thomas' height and reach could make him mistakeable for Sauce Gardner at times, though Thomas lacks the athleticism that Gardner boasts. Thomas will need to be careful against downfield speed in the NFL, because his 4.60-second pro day 40-yard dash implies he will be a liability any farther than 15 or so yards from the line of scrimmage.

Making push to start over Stephens
Thomas has outplayed Brandon Stephens so far in camp and is making a push to start at cornerback out of the gate, per Eric Edholm of NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Thomas and Stephens are both new to the Jets, as Thomas was drafted in the third round out of Florida State while Stephens came over from the Ravens in free agency on a three-year, $36 million contract. Stephens has been the presumptive favorite to earn the starting job, but Thomas is making a push for that role. Thomas excelled in coverage at Florida State, and he could develop into a shutdown cornerback at the NFL level if concerns about his lack of speed prove to be overblown.
