That's too bad. Thomas had a lot of obstacles to overcome and made himself a success. He might not have HOF counting numbers, but he was a remarkable WR in his prime...one of the best I've ever seen. He was like TO with better hands and no attitude.

I didn't think he'd do anything in the NFL when he came out of college. Georgia Tech ran Paul Johnson's triple option, and every now and then Thomas would run downfield and simply outreach the defender for the ball. He was in a rushing offense that didn't really require him to run pass patterns, so I thought he'd be a bust in the NFL. That is why I am not a scout.
