Scouting Report. Jermaine Thomas. player. Pick Analysis. RB. Florida State. 7. 804

Career Stats at FSU (08-11)

  • Rushing Yards – 2,083
  • Rushing TD – 19
  • Receiving Yards – 433
  • Receiving TD – 2

Jermaine Thomas was technically on the roster a season before this last decade began, but since he played three years within the last decade, I included him on this list.

His stats were better than I remember for some reason, but I suppose it’s because he only went over 500 yards rushing once in four seasons.

However, he was productive overall, amassing 2,516 yards from scrimmage on 423 plays with 21 touchdowns, while averaging 5.9 yards per play.

He went undrafted after this FSU football career ended but did sign with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL for a short stint.
