The suspense is now over — Oregon’s star running back De’Anthony Thomas will enter the 2014 NFL Draft, per a report by GoDucks.com :
“I am officially withdrawing from the University of Oregon to pursue a professional career in the NFL,” Thomas said in a prepared statement Sunday. “I want to express my deepest appreciation and thanks to the University and all of my teammates, coaches and fans. I look forward to staying connected to the University and visiting the sidelines as often as possible.”
Thomas leaves Oregon in the conversation as the best all-purpose player in school history. His 5,345 career yards trail only all-time greats LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner, with whom Thomas teamed in the Ducks’ most recent Pac-12 championship season of 2011. Thomas holds Oregon records for kickoff return yards (1,885) and punt return average (17.1), and he’s fourth in career scoring (278 points).
Now that Thomas is going pro, where would he like to end up? Coincidentally, with former coach Chip Kelly in Philadelphia — Thomas is a big Eagles fan:
That would be a dream come true.
