Shamarko Thomas – Syracuse University
Height: 5087
Weight: 213
Age when drafted: 22
Hometown: Virginia Beach, VA
Position: SS
Collegiate Number: 21
Combine notables: 4.42 40, 1.50 10 split, 40.5” vertical, 11’1” broad jump
Games Viewed: 2012 – USC, Pitt, Rutgers 2011 – USC, West Virginia
SIZE:
Shamarko Thomas checked in at under 5-foot-9 at February’s Scouting Combine. He possesses solid musculature on his compact frame. At 213 pounds, he has plenty of bulk and his frame is completely maxed out. There will be concerns with Thomas’ size given his reckless style of play. Thomas has been compared to Bob Sanders, who was another undersized but physical safety. Sanders career was shortened due to injuries and NFL teams will carry similar concerns with Thomas.
ATHLETCISM/STRENGTH:
He’s an explosive athlete with quick twitch muscle movements. Thomas ran low 4.4’s at the Combine and excelled in the explosion tests of the vertical jump and broad jump. On tape, you can see his explosiveness play out in his violent hits and closing speed. He’s a naturally strong athlete with excellent lower body strength.
MAN COVERAGE:
Thomas showed the movement skills to line up over the slot in the NFL. Solid lateral agility with the catch up speed to make up for errors. Played some corner at Syracuse and it shows as he’s an above-average safety in man. He struggles with his aggressive style of play in coverage. Will bite on double moves and reading the action in the backfield. Lined up on Robert Woods three times against USC this season. Lunged and missed badly in press but the ball was going away.
