Justin Thomas thought he’d wrapped up his five year college football career at Georgia Tech in a Taxslayer Bowl win over Kentucky to cap off a 9-4 senior season. The 2014 Orange Bowl MVP got an extension on his college playing days this week, however, with a late invitation to the Senior Bowl.
The Senior Bowl is played annually after the completion of the college football season, and generally serves as an additional opportunity for college seniors to display their skills for NFL scouts prior to the draft.
An Alabama native, Thomas represents Georgia Tech as the 58th senior in program history to play in the Senior Bowl since the game began in 1950.
