Former Ohio State wide receiver Michael Thomas, who the New Orleans Saints took in the second round of the NFL Draft, was among several players participating in the team’s rookie minicamp over the weekend. Thomas said since arriving in New Orleans more than a week ago, he hasn’t had time to get out to enjoy the city because he’s focused on bringing value to the team and learning to be a professional football player. “It’s been great to be able to be a pro — now you got to act like it and carry yourself like one,” he said Saturday. “(I’m) seeing a lot of vets around here and just learning from them, picking their brain and starting your own routine. I had a routine at Ohio State and now it’s different.” Thomas added that Drew Brees has done so much for the Saints organization that he just wants to give back to his new quarterback. “He’s given back so much to this organization and this program, with a pro like that who’s up there in his career, I just want to give back to him and add value and help him get to that Super Bowl,” the 6-foot-3, 212-pounder said. Thomas led the Buckeyes with 56 catches for 781 yards and nine touchdowns in 2015. He ran a 4.55 40-yard dash at the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine.
