Ravens return specialist De’Anthony Thomas, who recently signed a one-year deal to return to Baltimore, says the organization made a lasting impression on him in 2019 and he is ready to contribute on the offensive side of the ball in 2020.
Thomas spent parts of the past six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, but he was cut late last October amid a roster crunch. Thomas was drafted in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Chiefs, for whom Thomas played 61 games (eight starts) from 2014-2019. He averaged 8.8 yards per punt return and 24.5 yards per kick return throughout those six years.
The Ravens signed Thomas Nov. 5 to try to spark their return game, and he finished the season as the team’s returner. He averaged 7.2 yards per punt return and 16.6 yards per kick return during his eight games with Baltimore.
Thomas was immediately impressed with how the Ravens do business, from the coaches’ preparation to how the team practices to even how offensive linemen handle walkthroughs.
