Miami Hurricanes 2018 NFL Draft Profile: DE Chad Thomas

Known as much for it’s dominance as a college football power, the University of Miami has been also known for producing NFL talent on an annual basis, acting as a pipeline on a prospect path to professional football. When former Booker T. Washington defensive end Chad Thomas arrived to UM’s campus, many projected the five-star high school prospect would dominate early and often during his collegiate career. Sadly, that was not the case early in Thomas’ career. Thomas was used sparingly during his first two seasons—a fact that only drew the ire of Miami’s fan base towards then-head coach Al Golden and defensive coordinator Mark D’Onofrio for questionable personnel decisions during their tenure.
