Former Georgia offensive tackle Andrew Thomas is more than confident in his abilities. The 2019 unanimous All-American was widely considered a top 10, even top-five pick, earlier in the draft process. However, whether it be his performance at the NFL Combine or other factors, the 6-foot-5 tackle has seen his draft stock fall a bit.
Despite that, Thomas firmly believes he is the best offensive tackle prospect in this year's draft class.
Thomas has been participating in video calls with various teams throughout the NFL such as the Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and New York Giants.
Thomas recently had such a meeting with the Cleveland Browns and lamented his confidence in his abilities after the interview.
“I played three years in the SEC at both right tackle and left tackle,” Andrew Thomas said, via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “I dominated every year and I feel like I’m the best tackle in this class.”
The experienced offensive lineman will compete with players such as Iowa's Tristan Wirfs, Louisville's Mekhi Becton and Alabama's Jedrick Wills, all of whom are in contention to be the first offensive tackle on April 23.
During his three years at UGA, Thomas consistently led one of the better offensive lines in college football and one that dominated in the run game more often than not.
NFL.com's Adam Rank has Thomas going 14th overall to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his most recent mock draft — picked after Wirfs, Wills and Becton.
However, CBS Sports' John Breech has Thomas going as high as No. 6 in the NFL Draft, going to the Los Angeles Chargers but still one pick after Wirfs.
