# Zavion Thomas

NFL player. Position: **WR**. Team: **CHI**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** WR
- **Team:** CHI (Chicago Bears)
- **Draft:** 2026, 3rd round, LSU

## 2026 Outlook

Thomas was selected in the 3rd round despite recording fewer than 500 receiving yards in any single season at LSU, with teams viewing him primarily as a special-teams contributor (3 career return TDs). However, his 4.28 NFL Combine speed is making an immediate impression at OTAs. At practices, Thomas has worked with the first-team offense and hauled in a 50-yard deep pass from Caleb Williams, beating Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson down the left sideline. His take-the-top-off speed pairs well with the Bears' desire for vertical threat capability. Thomas has potential to develop into a deep-ball specialist if the opportunity arises, though his role as a rookie may be limited given his college production (per Five Sleeper NFL Draft Rookies Already Making Veterans Nervous at OTAs).

## Role / Depth Chart

Competing for receiver reps. Early returns suggest vertical threat potential.

## Injury Status
