Draft Profile: Bio
Rara Thomas from Eufaula High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Thomas opted to join Mississippi State.

In 2021 as a freshman Thomas saw action in 10 games for the Bulldogs as he made 18 receptions for 252 yards for an average of 14.0 yards per reception, with 5 TDs, and an elite QB rating when targeted of 136.1.

Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Thomas combines good speed with his size, and Thomas accelerates off the line better than most big receivers.
  • Good effort and technique as a blocker for his size. Can beat the press with elusiveness or physical contact. Runs crisp routes with sharp cuts.
  • When used downfield, he shows the ball-tracking skills and hand-eye coordination to make the adjustment on underthrown balls and back-shoulder throws.
  • He’s extremely dangerous in the open field, showing the vision and creativity to run through entire defenses.
  • Shows good sense as a route runner and provides an enormous catch radius over the middle of the field. Thomas has soft hands and uses his frame effectively to shield defenders, making him a major threat in the red zone.
  • He’s also a violent runner with the ball in his hands. He’s very good working outside the numbers, showing excellent ball-tracking skills, and he does the little things well downfield, including leaving enough room on the sideline for his quarterback to drop in a throw.
  • Often used on deep routes, getting separation down the sideline or over the middle on crossing routes by extending his arms rather than pure speed.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Thomas seems comfortable in traffic to the point where Thomas doesn’t make the effort to create separation.
  • Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
  • Thomas really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
