A great Senior leader that brought some of that swagger and fierceness back to the defense. He had his ups and downs through injuries and personal issues, but he stuck through it all and finished the season off with some honey badger like play.

The kid is now projected as a 2-4 pick.
Congrats on the degree and best of the luck in the NFL!

also congrats to all the other seniors. I just felt it was truly amazing how this guy went from bummed leg last year to undrafted and now to possibly a day 2 pick in the draft. Hard work pays off!

That cat balled out a few games. He was definitely fun to watch. Had glimpses of TM7 a few times.

Talked shite and then went out and backed it up with his play. Best of luck at the next level, DT! We'll be cheering you on!

I'll eat my crow pie. I was hard on this kid early but dude stepped up late in the season. Wish that light would have come on earlier in his career

One of my favorite players to watch this season because of his improvement from prior seasons. Dude is tough and was around the ball constantly, and it was awesome to watch him at LSU.

I'm looking forward to seeing him on Sunday's.

He backed up his shite talking against Alabama. He was all over the damn place.

All of these, I was a bit concerned when he talked some smack before Bama, but he backed it all up.

Injuries clearly affected him and now that he is heathy, the future is bright.

He had a pretty tough year last year, but I put a lot of that on Steele now. He wasn't 100% recovered from a major injury, and Steele put him in a very exposed spot after Mills went down. It's the coach's job to put players in the best spot to be the most effective.

I definitely appreciate Thomas for how he played this year. He got himself 100% healthy, learned Aranda's defense, and was a real leader out there. He was night and day better than last season. I hope he lands in the right situation in the NFL and makes himself some money and has a great career!

I also give a lot of credit to Aranda for recognizing his skills and putting him in the position to be a real asset again.

I was skeptical of him before this year, but he absolutely balled out this year, especially at the end of this year. I'm glad he was a Tiger. He will play in the NFL, and I wish nothing but the best for him.

I doubted Dwayne after last year (and early this year). About 5 or 6 games in he made me eat crow!

Really impressed at how disciplined and physical he played down the stretch. Great leadership and determination.

Against Bama, more than a few. Dude talked shite and backed up every word of it.

Thanks Dwayne Thomas for being a fighting tiger. You are truly an LSU soulja and one of O.P Walker finest. Good luck on the next level
