There weren't a ton of positives for the Minnesota Vikings during their Week 2 preseason matchup Saturday. But in his postgame press conference, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell offered one positive from the game — safety Jacob Thomas.
The defensive back is an undrafted rookie with the Vikings this preseason. Thomas led Minnesota with six combined tackles and one pass defense Saturday.
"Really smart. He's really instinctive. He's a great communicator, he's been really good in the deep part of the field," O'Connell told reporters. "Played a little bit more maybe in the boundary today just with some of the guys we sat.
"He's just been a guy, every single day, it feels like he makes a play at practice, as you guys saw throughout camp. He's really been a good fit. Great find and a guy that's taking advantage of his opportunities for sure."
In his preseason debut for the Vikings last week, Thomas had an interception. He also registered four combined tackles and a pass defense.
