SAD NEWS: Dallas Cowboys talented player have just been arrested now for

With the 233rd pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys selected Louisiana-Lafayette offensive tackle Nathan Thomas. The Cowboys are in the process of re-building their offensive line. Thomas is a huge tackle with a lot of traits to coach up

Intriguing offensive line prospect with outstanding lean mass and above-average upper-body power. Thomas is a solid run blocker who lacks desired pad level but utilizes his hands and feet to help push defenders where he wants them to go. His footwork as a run blocker is much better than it is in protection, but a move inside to guard could help mitigate that issue somewhat. He’s capable of taking on lateral-blocking duties and has room for continued improvement. At this point, he’s a backup-level player but his size and run-blocking talent give him a real shot to move up the depth chart.

Nathan Thomas is a two-year starter at left tackle inside Louisiana’s 56-44 run-pass split, zone-based run scheme with a quick-hitting pass scheme centered around RPO/play-action/bootleg concepts that move the pocket. Thomas is a tall, well-proportioned player with good arm length, big hands, solid athletic ability and play strength.

 

Thomas is an up-and-down run-blocker with flashes of commanding play strength due to latching, steering and driving defenders away from the ball on various zone concepts. He showcases the necessary body control to adjust and stay attached late in the rep.

 

There are equally impressive spurts of jolt in his hands on contact that can rock defenders on their heels. However, these are sandwiched between him leaning, overextending and falling off contact against shifty, slippery defenders whom he can’t latch onto right away due to an upright play style with sloppy footwork that sacrifices his balance.

One of the most concerning areas for the Dallas Cowboys was the inability to consistently stop the run in 2022, and that led to a first-round pick being used to select Mazi Smith in the 2023 NFL Draft. One year later, Smith will have reinforcements following the departure of Johnathan Hankins in free agency, by way of the team’s final pick in this year’s extravaganza.
