DeAnthony To Play D?

Oregon defensive players are dropping like flies (insert too small cracks here), redshirts are coming off true freshman.
Now it sounds like NFL scouts may get to see DAT at their desired position.
Thoughts?

Oregon's De'Anthony Thomas could play defense this week against Stanford, source says

Thomas, the nation's No. 1 cornerback prospect in high school, could give Oregon's injury-riddled defense a boost.

With the way Oregon uses him, I don't know he isn't already playing there. Let him return kicks and puts and still get him in on 10 offensive snaps as well.

He should switch there permanently if he wants to play in the league.
5'8 WR who weigh 160 pounds usually don't succeed in the NFL.

5'8 160 pound DBs usually don't succeed in the NFL either. If he were to make it to the NFL it would be on offense.

There are corners in the NFL that size (maybe not listed but in reality).

I would like to see what Thomas could do at CB for sure. We thought that may be his best position long-term coming out of high school.
What an explosive player.

Darrell Green is in the HOF and was at best, 5'8".

JC I've heard a few Adoree' Jackson and Thomas comparisons.
Do you see that at all?

Would be something to see two of the top athletes in the game playing O and D against each other.
