Shortly after the conclusion of the final round of the NFL Draft on Saturday, several former Owls took to Twitter to announce they had signed with NFL teams as undrafted free agents.
Former running back Jahad Thomas will join the Dallas Cowboys. Thomas earned second-team American Athletic Conference honors in 2016 after earning first-team distinction in 2015. He had 30 career rushing touchdowns and eight career receiving touchdowns for Temple.
Linebacker Avery Williams is also heading to Texas. He signed with the Houston Texans, who allowed 301.3 yards per game in 2016, a league best. Williams led Temple in tackles in three different games in 2016 and earned second-team honors in The American.
