Georgia Tech junior wide receiver Demaryius Thomas has declared for the 2010 NFL Draft. Thomas, listed at 6-3, 230 lbs, has drawn several comparisons to former Yellow Jackets teammate Calvin Johnson.
With the combination of size, speed, and athleticism that scouts dream about, Thomas could be a fast riser in the 2010 draft. Thomas caught 46 passes for 1,154 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging an outstanding 25.1-yards per catch. Having put up those stats in a triple-option offense at Georgia Tech shows just how dominant Thomas can be. I have him rated as a mid-late first round pick assuming he works out well at the Combine in February.
I have updated my position rankings at the wide receiver position. I have Thomas rated fourth among wideouts, behind Notre Dame’s Golden Tate and ahead of USC’s Damian Williams. Continue to check back at Draft Headquarters for continued updates.
