The 6-foot-6 tight end and former quarterback is coming off a calf injury that has slowed him most of the preseason.
Ron Rivera thinks it’s innate because of Logan Thomas’s 6-foot-6, 250-pound frame. Thomas believes it was probably developed well before he got that big, when he played football in the backyard with his grandfather and begged him to throw passes that were difficult to catch.He has always played with a rare physicality — whether as a quarterback at Virginia Tech and early in his NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals or since he has been converted to tight end.
With the frame of a power forward, plus a hand size and wingspan that place him in rare company — only Darnell Washington had larger hands among the top tight ends this year, and Washington’s 11-inch mitts are said to be the largest in NFL combine history — Thomas has some obviously natural gifts that give him an advantage.
“We’re able to sit in zones; we’re able to kind of run the routes the way we see them, the way we feel it,” Thomas said. “There’s a chalk line, but we’re able to break the line and kind of play to our skill set, which is really fun.”
