I'd like to take a second to brag... I called it last year when I said that Thomas had all the makings of an AA cornerback. There is still one play in particular that stood out to me - against Okie Lite... he got beat BADLY on a deep throw down the sideline, showed INCREDIBLE recovery speed, and nearly intercepted it by leaping in front of a really well thrown ball (ended up incomplete)... but wow... that athleticism is something I don't think I've seen from a corner since Strait, and he's proving that right this year.
Dude is incredible.

--- Steven Parker has been terrific and Zack Sanchez showcased again that he is a playmaker, but I’m just a huge, huge, fan of Jordan Thomas’ game. To me, he’s the best player in that secondary. The game comes so naturally to him. His athleticism and awareness almost makes what he does look effortless. Watch Thomas with the ball in the air when compared to other corners, it’s a thing of beauty.
