With the 195th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select West Virginia LB J.T. Thomas. Undersized, one-gap linebacker best in pursuit. Fluid changing direction, can chase down the action from the back side, and has terrific sideline-to-sideline range. Covers a lot of area on the field, displays a burst to the play, and easily redirects to ball carriers. Thomas has been a productive linebacker on the college level since his sophomore season. He projects as a backup weak side linebacker and special teams player for the next level. Source: Sports Illustrated
