Could R Mason Thomas Be the Secret Weapon Patriots Need to Dominate as a Pass Rusher?
Weaknesses: Thomas’ build is not one of a typical three-down edge as he measured in at 6-foot-2, 241 pounds (6th percentile weight with 4th percentile arms). His motor runs hot to help overcome those deficiencies, but the lack of size can allow for him to get locked onto tackles and get washed out at the point of attack in the run game.

What would be his role? With his lack of size, Thomas may be restricted to a designated pass rusher at the NFL level. That would at least be his role out of the gate in New England as he’d join a depth chart that features Harold Landry and Dre’Mont Jones at the top.
