"Zavion Thomas was projected to be a Day 3 pick, and it's not as if the LSU product had a ton of production during his time on campus. But his blazing speed (a 40-yard dash time in the 4.3s stands out) and big-play potential could line him up to be a contributor in Year 1."
"You don't have to squint to see how Thomas can work his way into a role on special teams as a return specialist and/or as a gadget player who can take hand-offs on reverses and end arounds in addition to being a threat to use his speed running a deep route."
"After all, Johnson is the perfect coach to get the most out of Thomas."
Zavion Thomas, selected by the Chicago Bears in the 2026 NFL Draft, is the sole rookie attending the NFL Players Rookie Premiere. His selection was controversial as he was expected to be a Day 3 pick, despite his impressive speed and potential for big plays. Thomas could contribute as a return specialist and gadget player. Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson is trusted to maximize Thomas's abilities. Previous Bears representatives at the event include notable players like Kevin White and Mitchell Trubisky.
