re: Chase Thomas = Scott Shanle

Clearly, however, there is a reason he fell so far and wasn't drafted.

Happens every year. Might motivate him even more, especially since his hometown team passed on him.

He waited in vain at his home in Atlanta on Saturday for his number to be called. "It happens," he said shortly after the draft ended. Asked how he felt, he said, "Pissed off." He said he couldn't speculate on why he wasn't picked. His slow 40-yard time of 4.87 seconds at the Indianapolis combine probably turned some teams off, but, according to NFL Draft Scout, an online service that rates prospects, Thomas is an "overachiever with strength and smarts" who was expected to go in the third or fourth round.

I don't care about the 40 yard dash time. It's an overrated measure. Some pretty good players have ran slower times.
