02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Mike Thomas fits best in a vertical Air Raid system that prioritizes deep routes and spreading the defense.

Split End (X)Flanker (Z)
Best role

Year 1 could see him as a rotational deep threat, with a ceiling to develop into a secondary outside receiver.

Wrong fit

He would struggle in a run-heavy, pro-style offense that asks receivers to block often and run a limited route tree.

His athleticism and deep speed are his primary assets, making him a niche but potentially impactful player in the right offensive system.
