Much to the surprise of those who follow UConn Football, Husky wide receiver Noel Thomas went undrafted in the 2017 NFL Draft. Even the most pessimistic UConn fan would have thought Thomas, who caught 100 balls as a senior and made some incredible plays, showing great catching ability, would have heard his name called in the NFL’s annual selection meeting.
Unfortunately, a slow 40-time at the NFL Combine hurt his stock and even though he did much better at his Pro Day and had a lot of teams interested, the seven rounds of the draft came and went without him getting the call.
