Darron Thomas was Oregon’s efficient, big-play dual-threat engine
In the 2011 season, Darron Thomas threw for 2,761 yards, 33 touchdowns and 7 interceptions while completing 62.2% of his passes, building on a 2010 breakout of 2,881 yards and 30 scores. He’s most appealing as a rhythm passer with legit downfield efficiency and some run value, plus proven big-game poise in Oregon’s fast-paced attack. The knock: he was more productive than flashy as a pure runner, and his college career is long over, so any team fit is historical rather than current.
