Season so far
With only one game played in the 2026 season, it is too early to draw definitive conclusions about R Mason Thomas' overall trajectory. In his lone Week 3 contest against Miami, Thomas operated near the replacement baseline with a 61.9 overall grade across 42 snaps. His performance was anchored by a solid 70.5 run defense grade, highlighted by a firm edge set and an impactful backside third-down stop. However, the majority of his workload came as a pass rusher, where a 57.7 grade dragged down his total due to wide rush angles that surrendered pocket lane integrity. A careless pre-snap offside penalty further suppressed his evaluation, leaving clear room for growth as more snaps accumulate.
