Noah Thomas Scouting Report

Noah Thomas is an alignment-versatile, big-bodied receiver who makes for a big target for quarterbacks in the short and intermediate portions of the field.

Draft Grade: Round 5 - Scheme Specific Contributor

Strengths:

Alignment Versatility: Because of Thomas’ size, he can play both as an outside receiver and in the slot. 

Overall Size/Length: Thomas has great size and overall length that makes him a big target for quarterbacks in the middle of the field.

Route Running/IQ: Thomas is an efficient route runner who understands how to get open versus both man and zone defenses.

Concerns:

Acceleration: Thomas lacks top-end acceleration, which affects his ability to separate on routes in the short, intermediate, and deep portions of the field. 

Top-End Speed: It appears Thomas doesn't have the top-end speed to run vertical routes and separate from defenders, which negatively impacts his ability to create explosive plays.
