Despite being considered one of the top defensive tackles in the 2010 NFL Draft class, Cam Thomas wasn't selected until the fifth round as the 146th overall pick.
After going relativelty, and surprisingly, overlooked in the draft, Thomas had an eight-year-long career in the league and built up quite a resume.
With 115 tackles and 7.5 sacks, Thomas was a beast on the defensive line. He was also a ballhawk for his teams as he amassed 4 pass deflections and 1 interception.
