The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Azareye’h Thomas, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Azareye’h Thomas’ NFL Draft Scouting Report
Azareye’h Thomas won’t be for every team, but for defenses that run an abundance of press-man looks, Thomas can be one of the best in the class. Thomas’ average long speed turns some people away on the surface, but turn on the tape, and you’ll see one of the most complete, physically imposing players in the CB group.
At around 6’2″, 197 pounds, with over 32″ arms, Thomas uses his length to proactivity disrupt and dictate releases at the line, and he’s incredibly competitive at the catch point. While Thomas doesn’t have high-end vertical speed, he’s explosive accelerating up to stems, and uncannily agile and fluid for his size.
That mobility failsafe allows him to smother WRs with his length. Giving shades of Martin Emerson Jr., Thomas can be a quality NFL starter.
Azareye’h Thomas’ NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Thomas landed in Round 2 with the 50th overall pick. James Fragoza had this to say:
Azareye’h Thomas started one season for the Seminoles, but it was all he needed to earn early Day 2 grades from scouts and analysts alike. With his length (32 3/8″), a team needing a press-man corner won’t hesitate to select him.
And in CSN’s recent 2025 NFL Mock Draft for Day 2, Bjorn Bergstrom had this to say about Thomas’ selection to the Cincinnati Bengals in Round 2 with the 49th pick:
After taking pass-rusher Shemar Stewart in the first round, the Bengals continue to add to their defense, which struggled mightily last season. Thomas is a physical press corner and will presumably help defend WRs D.K. Metcalf, Jerry Jeudy, and Zay Flowers in the AFC North.
