A consistent blindside protector and powerful run blocker, it’s difficult to ignore Andrew Thomas’ production. The 2x All-American and 2019 SEC Jacobs Award winner graded out as the 3rd-best OL in FBS despite facing top-tier competition on a weekly basis.
An average overall athlete, Thomas’ greatest physical quality is his length and strength. Despite a poor bench performance at the combine, his functional strength is evident on film. Combined with 36″ arms, most edge rushers won’t stand a chance once he can consistently seize control after striking. With his extended experience and outstanding production, Thomas is arguably the “safest” among the elite OT prospects in the class of 2020.
