Georgia offensive tackle Andrew Thomas is projected as a first round pick by a number of analysts leading up to the 2020 NFL Draft, starting Thursday, April 23rd.
The buzz right now is that Thomas goes to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an effort to give Tom Brady some solid pass protection at the tail-end of his career.
There has been some debate, though, as to who the best tackle in this year’s draft is.
Is it Thomas? Maybe Iowa’s Tristan Wirfs? What about Louisville’s Mekhi Beckton?
We will put an end to that debate with this here footage of all of Thomas’ meaningful pass-blocking snaps against LSU’s K’Lavon Chaisson in last year’s SEC Championship.
Georgia got blown out, sure, but watch how difficult Thomas made life for Chaisson, who is a projected top-15 overall pick in this week’s draft.
Watch:
It is pass-blocking like this, on the biggest against the best players, that has elevated Thomas to the #1 offensive tackle in the draft.
Look out for Thomas to do great things in the NFL and be a staple offensive lineman for a long time.
