Running back or receiver? Doesn't matter to Oregon's De'Anthony Thomas
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}De'Anthony Thomas is a man of many surprises.
The speedy running back grew up in the limelight as one of the best prep players in Los Angeles, then graced the cover of a national magazine his sophomore year with the Oregon Ducks.
But he prefers the quiet of fishing on the McKenzie River. Or hanging out with his new pet iguana, Gucci.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}There's not a lot of time for that now, however. Thomas opened fall camp this week, vowing a few more surprises — on offense — for the upcoming season.
Last season Thomas was a dual threat, running for 701 yards and 11 touchdowns and catching 45 passes for 445 yards and five more scores. He also scored on a kickoff return and a punt return.
