ATLANTA (AP) - Demaryius Thomas says he is leaving Georgia Tech
to enter the NFL draft.
Thomas, a junior wide receiver, announced his decision on
Friday.
At 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, Thomas is an unusually big receiver
with good speed. He led the Yellow Jackets with 46 receptions and
led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 1,154 yards receiving and
about 25 yards per catch this season.
He caught passes in 29 straight games before he was shut out in
Georgia Tech's 24-14 Orange Bowl loss to Iowa on Tuesday.
Georgia Tech is awaiting announcements from at least three more
highly rated juniors: defensive end Derrick Morgan, running back
Jonathan Dwyer and safety Morgan Burnett. Morgan and Dwyer are
rated as probable first-round picks.
