Thomas was allowed to play a pure CF and ball-hawk. Berry was asked to do quite a bit more for the Vols. He essentially doubled as a linebacker for the squad in run-support.

Berry has a far better football frame. He's built thicker and he's been far less injury-prone. Thomas is a fairly slight guy for someone that's intended to be a safety in the NFL. I can't see him avoiding missing a handful of games every year with the physical toll that safety takes on the body.

Thomas has had some work ethic worries whereas Berry has one of the best makeups in the draft. And there's the Longhorn factor.

Nice breakdown, +rep
