3. Logan Thomas

The former fourth-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals back in 2014, Logan Thomas has an interesting training camp ahead of him. The former Virginia Tech standout was a quarterback in college, and the Cardinals took a shot on him in the fourth round due to his big arm and athletic ability.

His career as a quarterback in the NFL has been disappointing to say the least. He has only completed one pass in his NFL career, although that pass was an 81-yard touchdown. Since the Cardinals released him in 2015, he bounced around the practice squads of the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions, before signing on to the Bills practice squad late in 2016. He changed his position to tight end with the Lions in a last ditch effort to salvage his NFL career.

The Bills desperately needed some help at tight end. However, I don’t see Thomas being on the roster after training camp. He has a tough uphill battle ahead of him, as changing positions in the NFL is rarely successful. If he can show his athleticism in training camp and prove to be useful in the offense, than he may have a shot. With that said, I have a hard time seeing Thomas making the Bills 53-man roster for the start of 2017.
