Juanyeh Thomas is having a solid camp so far.
This week, 2024 undrafted tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford has drawn a lot of eyes and deservedly so. After putting some good days of practice together, Spann-Ford was back at it again on Saturday. In one of the highlights of the day, Spann-Ford made a terrific catch down the middle of field for a touchdown that ignited the team in celebration. It’s a great sign for the second-year pro who could have a much larger role on the team in 2025. Yet, its another undrafted free agent who nearly stole the show a highlight performance.
Juanyeh Thomas has been one of the intriguing prospects for the Cowboys since joining the Cowboys in 2022. Every year he makes strides and adds element to his game. Today at practice he made this outstanding play:

Those that have been following Thomas have seen this before. He reads the eyes of the quarterback well and drives quickly on the ball with a excellent pair of soft hands. The Cowboys have tinkered with the prospect of playing Thomas at nickel cornerback as well as safety, and it’s because the Cowboys are proactively searching for ways to get him on the field.
Thomas boasts an impressive athletic profile. At 6’3”, 217 lbs., he can seemingly do it all. He’s got some potential to return kicks also if needed.
While Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker are the top two safeties, Thomas could see a lot more playing time as the season progresses and as for the slot cornerback, the position isn’t decided. Thomas could easily play both should the opportunity arise.
