Name: Jemea Thomas
Position: Defensive back
School: Georgia Tech
Selected: Round 6, Pick 206 overall
Height: 5'9
Weight: 192
Strengths:
The Patriots love to bring in young defensive backs and Thomas is a player with potential. He's not necessarily a starter, as he could struggle to find a perfect fit, but Belichick loves versatility. Even though he's 5'9, the Georgia Tech defensive back plays much bigger on the field delivering crushing blows to opponents.
Thomas should be able to contribute on special teams right away, his ticket to potentially landing on the 53-man roster, but he could elevate himself into a much larger role in the future. He could play cornerback, nickel (in the slot) and strong safety at times. His toughness and competitive spirt stands out.
