Thomas is a 6-foot-3, 311-pound undrafted rookie from SMU who grew up in Lubbock. He was a second-team all-conference selection in college.

He chose SMU over scholarship offers from Texas Tech, Stephen F. Austin and Tulsa.

Thomas has run the 40-yard dash in 4.95 seconds.

He was released by the Giants on Oct. 31. He worked out for the Green Bay Packers on Monday.
