Chad Thomas tied for the Miami Hurricanes team lead in 2017 with 12.5 tackles for loss with New York Giants fifth-round draftee R.J. McIntosh. He finished third on the team in sacks behind Trent Harris and Miami rising Junior Joe Jackson.
According to WKYC in Cleveland, Chad Thomas is expected to play often with the first pick in the 2017 NFL Draft Myles Garrett on the other side. The Browns are high on Thomas’ physicality, his ability to stop the run and rush the passer.
Thomas was the highest drafted Miami defensive lineman since 2008.
