I love Phillip Thomas. I think he's a guy who can come in and make a big impact now and the future.

He's a ready now type of guy. Red shirt senior that has had very good production throughout his college career. Reminds me a lot of the guy I really liked in 2010 - Morgan Burnett, who, coincidently, statistically had the best year of all NFL safeties in 2012.

The only question mark with Thomas is that he's had slight injuries over his college career with the big one being a broken leg prior to the start of the 2011 season. However, he did come back with a legendary level season in 2012, so it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Became the first player in Fresno State history to be an unanimous All-American … named a first-team All-American by the AFCA, Associated Press, FWAA, Sporting News and Walter Camp Football Foundation … one of three finalists for the Jim Thorpe Award that goes to the top defensive back in the nation … received the College Football Performance Awards Defensive Back Trophy … his eight interceptions leads the nation and has set a new MW single-season record. It is also the most picks by a Bulldog in 27 years … He individually has more interceptions than 29 FBS teams have this year, including four Mountain West teams … returned three interceptions for touchdowns, which has set a new school single-season record, tied the Mountain West record, tied for the national lead and is one off the NCAA record … his nine total take-aways on the year (eight interceptions, one fumble recovery) are is tied for the most from any one player in the FBS … No. 3 in the MW with 12.0 tackles for a loss and he also has four sacks on the season … forced four fumbles on the year and that mark tied for the Mountain West lead and ranked sixth nationally
