The third member of Hazell's new guys is not big. As a matter of fact, he is the smallest member of the class, and that include place kicker Ben Buchanan, but Hazell's eyes really lit up when talking about 5-11, 186 pound Lamaar Thomas.
"He's the guy that can blow the top off the coverage," said Hazell, his smile widening at the thought.
"He'll run by you. He's a 10.2, 10.3 guy (in the 100 meters). He's that fast. He's been clocked at 10.19 hand-held," Hazell said.
Thomas is blazing fast, and that alone would have Hazell smiling, but Thomas is more than just fast. He's also a bona fide football player.
"He's got phenomenal ball skills. He plays every position. He's played quarterback, he's played receiver, he plays corner, he plays running back, he can catch the football," said Hazell.
"He can do so many things. He's very athletic, explosive, fast. He's legitimately, Accutrack, a 10.3 guy. That's a lot of speed," Hazell said.
