De'Anthony Thomas was a major factor in Oregon's fast-paced, high-powered attack for the past three seasons of college football, racking up 3,186 yards from scrimmage as a Duck, along with 41 TDs. Now, the speedy running back is taking his talents to the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs, who drafted him in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Last night, against the Cincinnati Bengals, Thomas proved his worth to the team, taking back a punt 80 yards into the end zone, tying the game at 10-10. As you can see from the GIF above, Thomas has some serious quickness. Granted, the clip is clearly sped up but, regardless, Thomas is still moving a lot faster than everyone else on the field. Reminds you a little of Dante Hall, doesn't it?

Thankfully for the Bengals, this was just a preseason match-up. However, Thomas just sent a warning shot out to the rest of the league with this highlight. Opposing punters better think twice before they boot the ball his way.
