New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Justin Thomas has known for a while he'd have to change positions if he wanted a chance to make an NFL roster.
While he was the starting quarterback at Georgia Tech the past three years, Thomas achieved some impressive accomplishments, including leading the Yellow Jackets to an Orange Bowl victory after the 2014 season. In that game, Thomas scored four touchdowns, passed for 125 yards, ran for 121 yards and earned MVP honors.
But, at 5-foot-9, 186 pounds, and after completing just 48.7 percent of his passes in college, the dual-threat quarterback knew any professional future would be at a different position.

Tell that to Pryor. He's a beast. I was hoping the rams were going to sign him. I was going to buy his jersey on the spot.

depends....Richard Sherman was a wr....and coaches told him to switch to db. Bunch of offensive guys could switch to defense if they wanted too....
Exacty...No way to measure a players heart and will. I say we give him a fair chance.
