Professional career

Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins selected Thomas in the third round (77th overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft.

On October 9, 2016, Thomas started at left guard after Billy Turner was moved to left tackle since both the starting left tackle, Branden Albert, and the backup left tackle, Laremy Tunsil, both missed the game due to illness and injury, respectively. Thomas and Turner were both released two days later after they had a disastrous performance during the 30-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans.[2]

Philadelphia Eagles

On January 18, 2017, Thomas signed a reserve/future contract with the Eagles.[3] He was waived on September 2, 2017.[4]
