Could R Mason Thomas Be the Secret Weapon Patriots Need to Dominate as a Pass Rusher?

Could R Mason Thomas Be the Secret Weapon Patriots Need to Dominate as a Pass Rusher?

Does he have positional versatility? Thomas rushed over both tackles spots throughout his time at Oklahoma and was extremely versatile in his productive 2024 campaign where he posted 9.0 sacks and a 17% pressure rate. He occasionally appeared on punt return units but was a regular on the Sooners’ field goal block team.

What is his growth potential? Thomas’ ability to win with speed and explosiveness will likely translate to the NFL, where he again should be a productive part of line games up front (a big part of the Patriots rush plan). The main question is again his size which may restrict him from being a full, three-down edge. Speaking at the Combine, Thomas spoke against the idea of him being a primary third-down rusher while comparing his game to speedy Pro Bowl rusher Nik Bonitto (6’3”, 240), perhaps providing the potential ceiling for a player with his frame.
