Ohio State Football: Mike Thomas is definitely hard to guard

It was a rocky road for Michael Thomas early in his Ohio State football career. However, he was the leading receiver for the Buckeyes his last two seasons and was becoming difficult for defensive backs to guard.

During the 2014 National Championship season he had 54 receptions for 799 yards and 9 touchdowns. He followed that up with 56 catches, 781 yards and 9 more scores in 2015.

However, since he teamed up with quarterback Drew Brees in the NFL his production has been off the charts. With the numbers he has put up I think general managers are still scratching their heads wondering why they passed on Thomas and let him slip to the New Orleans Saints as the 47th pick in the 2016 draft.
