Dynasty Summary: When I have a contrarian opinion on a player, it doesn’t necessarily excite me. In fact, it’s the opposite; it scares me. I assume I’m wrong, and I’m the one missing something. It makes me go back and question my thoughts and opinions. I re-read what others have said, look for new information and I re-watch the tape. I’ve done that with Thomas, and I’ve done it multiple times. I just don’t see it. If Thomas didn’t have mouth-watering physical size, I don’t think he’d be anywhere near an upper-echelon receiver prospect.
Rotoworld: 14. Where He Wins: On the Michael Crabtree - Demaryius Thomas spectrum. He can take short passes and surprises with acceleration and balance to pick up yards after the catch. A large portion of Thomas’ catches were made within ten yards of the line of scrimmage, but he can also win vertically and adjusts to the football while it is in the air.
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer: "His greatest strengths are that he has ball skill and he's a competitive SOB. He's a refuse-to-lose type player. I think that he will have a long career in the NFL." --
