Undrafted Thomas Jr. forces roster conversation with 2.5 sacks, coach praise

Undrafted rookie edge rusher delivered dominant preseason performance with 2.5 sacks, four quarterback hits, and four tackles against Tampa Bay, repeatedly penetrating the backfield. Head coach Liam Coen noted Thomas has a 'gift of rushing the passer' that cannot be ignored, and his play is making the roster decision increasingly difficult. Despite Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker ahead on the depth chart, Thomas's explosive pass-rushing ability and run-defense consistency provided a compelling argument for keeping another young edge rusher on the roster.
