Charlie Thomas

Nice profile of Charlie from Ken and the AJC:

“I’m more of a zone player,” said Thomas of the role. “Just play off of the run and get a run-pass read. If it’s run, I usually have a fit, and if it’s pass, I usually just go off the quarterback’s eyes and play off instinct for the most part.”

For someone who has strong spatial-awareness skills, tackles well in the open field, is fast and agile and has keen instincts amplified by an appetite for preparation, it’s an ideal position. Toss in that, at 6-foot-2 and 207 pounds, he hits with force and has deft ball skills.

“I like being in space,” Thomas said, “and I feel like I can see the whole defense there. It just feels a lot more comfortable.”

Also seems to be the role we might use Willis in. With Charlie having success, hopefully this shows Jaron that he could, too.
