After the conclusion of the 2016 season, Solomon Thomas called it a career for his college days and is headed to the 2017 NFL draft. Now it is time to break down his possible impact in the NFL and how the Cardinal will replace his impact on the defense.
Over the two seasons that Thomas saw the field, he recorded 11.5 sacks with 25.5 tackles for loss and two touchdowns. He also recorded 101 tackles in his time at Stanford, all while eating up innumerable double teams and helped free up other edge rushers or linebackers to get to the quarterback.
