Daniel Thomas only spent two seasons at Kansas State for his junior and senior years. However, even in two seasons, Thomas made a big impact on the Kansas State offense.
Thomas is fourth on the all-time career rushing yards list for Kansas State with 2,850, which is impressive for just two seasons. Thomas is also sixth on the all-time rushing touchdowns list for Kansas State with 30 career touchdowns.
In Bill Snyder's first season back, he clearly relied a lot on Thomas as he had 247 carries for 1,265 yards and 11 touchdowns in his junior season. He outdid himself in his senior season with 298 carries for 1,585 yards and 19 touchdowns.
Thomas was drafted in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins, but unfortunately, his NFL career was not as stellar as his college career.
