I was gonna say, he times a 4.38 on that run. I think he will be the one with the last laugh.

Yeah, but it was kind of funny because the broadcastors had literally just been talking about his concussion history and Thomas faceplants himself! But, hey, that run is gonna make him some money, so I can't knock it too much.

He might get drafted in the 2nd round.

Both his parents died a few years ago and he is fighting hard to support his younger siblings. He should be applauded not laughed at.

That is pretty terrible. However unrelated to him failing down, which was funny. Glad he is going to get drafted so high and can take care of his family. Lighten up Francis.

I can't even imagine what he had to go through, best of luck to this kid, talk about unfortunate circumstances

"Then tragedy struck. Less than two months before the season, he heard the life-altering news: The man who pushed him to gridiron greatness was gone. Thomas' father, Abdul Shabazz, died in a motorcycle accident in North Carolina.
Shabazz had just picked up a new part for his motorcycle and was returning home when a 20-year-old driver lost control of the wheel, swerved out of his lane and crashed into him. Shabazz was wearing a helmet, but died on impact. He never made it to the hospital. He was pronounced dead on July 10, 2010."

"One day later, on April 18, Thomas received a voicemail from his younger brother. His mother was dead. She went to bed early to prepare for a trip to Chicago to visit her ailing grandmother, but she never woke up. She died from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the myocardium becomes too thick, making it harder for the heart to pump blood. She had unknowingly battled the condition for years; it has few symptoms and often goes undiagnosed."
