Going to San Francisco The 49ers selected Thomas in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 102nd overall. Impact Thomas opted out of the 2020 season but was probably the best corner on a solid 2019 Michigan pass defense before that, and his athletic testing this offseason was more than adequate. At 6-foot, 191 pounds Thomas logged a 4.41-second 40, which pairs with his long arms (32 and 1/4 inches) to make him a solid cover-3 type corner especially. He's only depth for San Francisco's deep corner rotation, but he should prove more than qualified in that capacity and has long-term upside for more.
