route running Thomas has.


ESL's passing game is based on running double smash, China, and Wolf concepts with the slot and edge wr and Estes being able to extend allowing Thomas to run past his defender. He has elite speed but he isn't going to get a free release every down in college.

You also need to consider the competition he faced. The 2017 and 2018 Illinois recruiting classes have just 5 rated secondary players. None are safeties and none are rated higher than a 3*. Thomas faced one of them all season.

The best DB he faced all season was Babb from CBC. He will be a star WR in college, but would also be really good as a DB.

The route running comment is based off what he was graded in the rivals summer camp
