Summary
R Mason Thomas is an explosive edge rusher who wins with a relentless, “hair-on-fire” playing style. Despite being labeled undersized, he uses a low center of gravity and surprising functional power to move offensive tackles off the spot. He plays with good bend, allowing him to turn the corner on his way to the quarterback. He’s a high-end athlete in space against the run, able to chase down running backs or mirror mobile quarterbacks. Thomas is a high-energy playmaker who simply refuses to quit on a rep.

Chiefs' R Mason Thomas: Chosen by Chiefs
The Chiefs selected Thomas in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 40th overall.
Thomas (6-foot-2, 241 pounds) is undersized in terms of both height and frame, but that didn't prevent him from tallying a combined 15.5 sacks across 23 appearances with Oklahoma over the last two seasons, earning first- and second-team All-SEC honors those years. George Karlaftis is established as a starter for Kansas City's pass rush, which veteran DT Chris Jones remains the anchor of, leaving Thomas in position to compete with 2025 third-rounder Ashton Gillotte and 2023 first-rounder Felix Anudike-Uzomah (hamstring) for snaps.
