Duke Thomas with some rookie mini camp noise

[echeese]

If you don't know, Duke Thomas was signed as an FA this offseason by Da Boys after failing to stick on the Texans roster.

Seems he got a bit of attention during rookie mini camp underwear drills

Keep an eye on Texas cornerback Duke Thomas, as well. Thomas was signed by the Texans last season but couldn’t stick. He has the flexibility to play a couple of different spots outside and in the slot.

This per Bryan Broddous who has a decent eye.   Nothing earth shattering but he could be fighting for the last DB slot on the team and Rod Marinelli loves guys who can play multiple positions.

Hey, the Cowboys can use anyone with a pulse at defensive back. Duke isn't a bad option, either!

Confused on how 7on7 football works. 6 receivers? And when did this become so popular? Didn't know this was really a thing.

You are kidding right?

The rise of off season 7 on 7 football has helped lead to the rise of spread offenses and heavy passing.

Backyard flag football effectively.   Everyone eligible. . . . 

You can argue the shift has cost Texas the development of OLs DLs RBs and TEs as the state's focus on offense has shifted from my day of the wishbone/run based option offenses to a option based passing offense.
