Posted by on April 7, 2014 – 2:10 pmIt’s not the kind of news any NFL prospect wants to get just a month before the NFL draft, but Clemson OL Brandon Thomas got the worst news he could hear concerning the start of his pro career.
According to ESPN NFL analyst Adam Caplan, Thomas tore his ACL last week.
G Brandon Thomas (Clemson), who is rated as one of the top interior OLs for this year’s draft, suffered a torn ACL last week, per source.

Thomas was forecast as a third or fourth round prospect prior to the injury. The ACL tear could easily drop him to the fifth or sixth round.
