Thomas Graham Drafted 228th Overall by the Chicago Bears

The Oregon cornerback is ready to take his game to the next level.

Thomas Graham has been selected by the Chicago Bears with the 228th overall pick in the NFL Draft. 

He joins Penei Sewell (Lions), Jevon Holland (Dolphins), Deommodore Lenoir (49ers), and Brady Breeze (Titans) as Oregon players to be selected in this year's draft. 

Prior to opting out of the 2020 season, Graham was the active leader in pass breakups and passes defended. As a junior in 2019 he was named to the Pro Football Focus All-Pac-12 second team.

Graham was a former USC commit that came to Oregon as a 4-star recruit in the 2017 class.
