Georgia Tech’s Versatile, Ball-Hawking DB Who Played with Edge
Jemea Thomas stood out at Georgia Tech as a productive, physical defensive back who led the team in solo tackles (73) and total tackles (88) while adding 8 pass break-ups in his best season, a sign of both range and reliability in coverage[7]. He also showed playmaking instincts with an interception in the win over Georgia[5]. At 5-foot-9 and 195 pounds, Thomas brought toughness and competitiveness more than prototype size, and his NFL draft selection reflects how evaluators valued his instincts, effort, and versatility[4][2].
