Final Report
R Mason Thomas is an undersized EDGE out of Oklahoma. Thomas had a tough 2025 that was limited by both injuries and a suspension. Thomas finished with 6.5 sacks, 9.5 tackles for loss, and 2 forced fumbles in 10 games. Thomas has more of a fire hydrant build at 6'2" and 241 lbs. He has shorter arms and lacks ideal proportions for the position. R Mason Thomas wins with a bit of skill and an immense amount of will. As a run defender, Thomas is able to the job asked of him within reason. He's not afraid to take on lead blockers and he'll play reads aggressively. However, you want to avoid putting him in situations where he can be squared up against larger OTs. As a pass rusher, Thomas is explosiveness and determined. He might be the most laterally agile but he's bendy enough to dip under blockers and strong enough to complete his path to the QB on outside rushes. He needs more variety to his pass rush plan but he does have a nice two hand swipe inside for a counter to his outside rush. He also does a good job setting up his bull rush with his speed threat outside. Thomas projects as a 3-4 OLB but will probably see more time as a situational pass rusher to start. He has a lot working against him physically to work his way into a every down role but he could be a solid contributor as a pass rusher for a good amount of time.
