Ohio State’s Michael Thomas was a big deal at Ohio State, and that wasn’t by luck. The nephew of former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson, Thomas has had the door shut in his face on several occasions, including his attempts to join USC and UCLA to play college football. Through hard work and determination, he earned his way through Fork Union Military Academy to get to Ohio State and make some noise.
There plenty more great positives for Thomas other than his work ethic. He definitely looks the part of a star receiver in the NFL. He’s got the height, weight and speed that could make him a very appealing option for teams hoping to find a #1 wide receiver outside of the top 15 picks.
