Sports Illustrated broke the story & now multiple media outlets are reporting that BayBay Thomas broke his foot on Wednesday while training for next week's NFL Combine. That SUCKS. BayBay was rapidly rising up draft boards & just today Mel Kiper had him going to the Bengals with pick #21. BayBay's agent reported he had run as fast as 4.38 in the 40 during pre-draft preparations & we know of someone who timed him at 4.42 within the last month. While we're hoping this doesn't cost him wheelbarrows of cash, we're afraid it will. Questions will remain about Thomas' ability to run routes, something the combine might have helped diffuse. The opportunity to dispell those fears plus the spectacular numbers we're sure BayBay would have posted certainly would have increased his draft stock. We still don't think he makes it out of the second round. Hang in there, #8, plenty of chedda' coming your way....
Stay tuned next week as we'll breakdowns on all five of our guys who could potentially be taken in the upcoming NFL draft.....
