Humbled rookie cornerback Jordan Thomas determined to prove his worth to Eagles

Two years ago, Jordan Thomas was on top of the world. The University of Oklahoma cornerback had five interceptions as a sophomore in 2015 and was being projected by ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay as the best corner in the 2017 draft.

Since then, very little has gone right for him. He played poorly his junior year, passed on coming out early for the ’17 draft, and by his own admission, “didn’t play half as good’’ his senior year.

There also were a few off-the-field incidents. In December 2015, he was arrested for failure to appear in court for a traffic violation.
