Thomas is originally from Jefferson Parish in Louisiana.
He began his college career at Mississippi State before going to LSU.
He's only 5-foot-10, but that speed makes up for it.
In the 2025 season at LSU, Thomas had 41 catches for 488 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran 19 times for 99 yards and a score.
He can really do it all. Expect him to make plays for Chicago.
