Thomas' 4.28 speed intriguing, but Johnson wants consistency before offensive role.

Thomas, a rookie third-round pick, will likely be brought along slowly but should be in the mix as a returner immediately. His 4.28 speed impressed at Halas Hall, but head coach Ben Johnson has emphasized the need to see consistency before making him a regular part of the offense: "If we can harness all of this energy and make sure that we can trust him and he's going to align where he needs to and run the route the way we need him to, that we really could use him and he could be a big weapon for us this year."
