The Colts added another undrafted
free agent to the safety mix in Eastern Michigan’s Latarius Thomas. Let’s take
a look.
Latarius Thomas SS Eastern
Michigan
Numbers: 6006/212/4.61pd
2011 stats: 42 tackles, 37
assists, 0.5-2 TFL, 4 passes broken up, 1 forced fumble
ColtPlay says: It’s hard not to
root for Thomas. A really great kid who had seen some real adversity before he
was adopted by a coaching family (shades of The Blind Side), he actually
transferred from Louisville, gave up a year of eligibility and paid his own way
to Eastern Michigan out of loyalty and faith in his coach. A high school
receiver converted to safety at Louisville, Thomas is an outstanding athlete
who is still learning the nuances of the position. From what I’ve seen, he’s a
solid tackler, an efficient blitzer and has some real potential as an
all-around safety prospect. But he’s far from NFL-ready.
