Former Stanford linebacker Chase Thomas saw NFL teams draft players who ran slower 40-yard dash times. He saw NFL teams draft players who compiled similar stat lines also come off the board while he sat without a team once the NFL draft wrapped up.
Thomas said he's finished pondering why he wasn't drafted, even though he'll play with the proverbial chip on his shoulder. His primary focus will be to earn a spot on the New Orleans Saints' regular season roster after the Saints signed Thomas as an undrafted rookie free agent.
He's found out one thing already: Saints fans want him to make the team.
"I can already tell the Saints have a great fan base just in the amount of responses I received on Twitter," Thomas said.
