4 years agoCarolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that tight end Ian Thomas had "a tremendous offseason" after disappointing in 2020 (20-145-1). "He looks explosive. He looks athletic," Rhule added. "If you're talking about a guy that's really had a good offseason, I would say it would be Ian Thomas. He's more comfortable with what he's doing." Thomas was a breakout candidate heading into last season, but the COVID-19 pandemic was hard on him, as he "lost a few family members through COVID." Being back on the field with in-person coaching has benefitted him this offseason. While never much of a speedster, Thomas said he feels faster this spring after slimming up. The departure of wideout Curtis Samuel should open up some targets in the middle of the field, but Thomas will also have to contend with Dan Arnold and rookie Tommy Tremble. Thomas could fare better with quarterback Sam Darnold throwing him passes, but he'll have to show us more to be worth rostering in single-year leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
