RB Daniel Thomas, Kansas State


Daniel Thomas, RB, Dolphins, 2nd round. Kan. St.: Very good size. Good speed, cutback vision, burst, and upper-body strength. Changes direction smoothly, without wasted lateral movement — always moving forward. One-cut-and-go runner. Patient and waits for blocks. Fair receiver and good after the catch. Was QB at community college before transferring to Kansas St., so may be a good Wildcat QB. After slowing down and having a knee injury late in season, was also a late scratch from Senior Bowl due to hamstring injury that lasted at least through March. Was injured off and on through college. Landed in perfect situation, on a Dolphins team that loves to run the ball and has no definite RB stars on roster. Watch his competition with Kory Sheets and potentially either R. Brown or Ricky Williams. Could have most immediate impact of any rookie, and falls here only because his injury history and running style limit his long-term potential.
