Michael Thomas came a long way from spring game star to future NFL draft pick.
Thomas made splashes as a young player in the 2012 and 2013 spring games, but fell back in the shadows in those respective seasons due to immaturity and other issues. It cost him a redshirt season in 2013, but Thomas grew into the program's No. 1 wide receiver the past two seasons.
Thomas honed his game and made excellent use of the limited opportunities Ohio State's offense presented him. Of his 110 catches the past two seasons, 18 went for touchdowns. His measurables are ridiculous — Thomas checked in at 6-foot-3 and a lean 212 pounds at the NFL Combine, with 32 and 1/8-inch arms and 10 and 1/2-inch hands.
