Jacob Thomas

Jacob Thomas projects as a priority undrafted free agent prospect with developmental upside as a box safety in a NFL secondary. He shows instinctive run-stopping ability and adequate coverage awareness but lacks the elite athleticism or ball skills to project as a long-term starter at the FBS level. Teams seeking depth in the backend with patience for refinement may find value in his film study and motor.

Thomas' competition level at James Madison significantly impacts projection reliability, as his tape may not translate against NFL skill positions. Limited athletic testing data and concerns about true safety range (playing closer to line of scrimmage) could restrict his versatility in modern NFL schemes that demand safety interchangeability.
