Acquired by Eagles: D1-98 (11th selection overall)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Has asked to be known as William Thomas from this point forward, rather than being known as "Tra."

Given the task of protecting QB Donovan McNabb's blindside, Thomas earned his third Pro Bowl selection in 2004 as the club's starting LT. At 6-foot-7, 349 pounds, Thomas has been a reliable and monstrous presence on the offensive line for the majority of his career, but suffered a lower back injury at NYG in 2005 (11/20) and was placed on IR five days later.

BIRDSEED


Pimp my ride William: William Thomas has always been fascinated with cars. About a year ago, he decided to go into business with StarMedia to develop a concept for a high-tech in-car entertainment system, which they have termed "I.C.E." The project has already begun within Thomas' very own F350 Ford Pickup. Thomas has a small touch screen embedded in the dashboard for playing CDs and movies, and also includes a navigational system. The brains of the operation, a 200 GB antishock hard drive, sits beneath the backseat of Thomas' truck and synchronizes wirelessly in his in-home system. This way, every CD and movie that Thomas has at his home in Medford, NJ, is available to him in his car.
"You really have to see the system and experience it to see what's going on with it," said Thomas. "Having your entire music library right there in your car -- it's neat. You can watch a movie. You can listen to your favorite music ... It's amazing what we can do."

StarMedia is still beta-testing the product and will install it for $3,000 for those people willing to help them perfect it. After that, the company expects to go to retail. Thomas said that in the meantime, he and his agent are looking for ways to promote the product, such as a spot on an MTV Show -- either "Pimp My Ride" or "MTV Cribs."
