Long article for ESPN Insiders - I snipped the small part regarding Shamarko here for you.

Milliner, Trufant and Thomas all wow scouts on combine's final day
Syracuse's Thomas turns in best workout
As for the safeties, Shamarko Thomas (Grade: 70) had the best workout. At 5-9, 213 pounds, he's a little shorter than ideal, but he's well-packed and ran a great time in the 40 at 4.42 and built speed as he ran the 40. He had a 40½-inch vertical jump. That's one of the best verticals of the combine. He also had an 11-1 broad jump. He did a nice job. He'll have his grade in the third- or fourth-round range. We liked his tape and he's a tough kid. He had a great game against USC and he stood out. He's trying to work his way into the second day of the draft, where you have 10 safeties that grade out in the first three rounds. After Kenny Vaccaro (Grade: 95) going in the first round, there are nine guys projected to go on Day 2. Thomas was at the bottom of the group and he's moving up now.
