Jayvon Thomas

Thomas is a lean built player with a muscular frame. Measuring at 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, you have a player that flashes twitch and change of direction with false stepping and is able to plant and transition easily. With a build to add mass, I can see him adding another 10 to 15 pounds as he fills out to his full potential physically. His explosiveness and burst translate to him posting a verified vertical jump of 34 inches and a broad jump of 10-foot-3 inches.
He is able to key and diagnose without hesitation in both run and pass situations. His speed is evident as he is able to stay on top of receivers on deep routes as well as showing up in situations where he is chasing plays down. When he is playing press man is has live feet where he doesn’t get caught flat footed often thus he is able to mirror well and play the receiver and compete for the ball once it’s in the air the majority of the time. Instinctive football player that makes plays in both the run and the pass. Is ahead right now in man coverage skills but has the athleticism and technique to be a comfortable playing zone as well. Not afraid to come up and make a tackle on the ball-carrier.
Thomas is a talent as he further develops, he has the tools and ability that can get him early playing time. He is a guy that can figure to play in special teams, nickel and outside with good production.
