gold star for USAHOF

Last night, former Denver Broncos Wide Receiver, Demaryius Thomas, was found dead in his home in Georgia.  He was only 33 years old.

It is not known at this time how he passed, only that according to the police, it might have resulted from a medical issue.

A First Team All-ACC Selection from Georgia Tech, the Broncos selected him in the First Round (22nd Overall) in the 2010 Draft.  Thomas would become Denver’s top Wide Receiver, exceeding 1,000 Yards five years in a row (2012-16) and was chosen for four Pro Bowls.  He also helped the Broncos win Super Bowl 50, and set a then record 13 Receptions in Super Bowl XLVIII.  He retired after brief stops in Houston and the New York Jets, and left the game with 9,763 Yards and 63 Touchdowns.  He is currently second all-time in Receiving Yards for the Broncos. 

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, family and friends of Demaryius Thomas.

Demaryius Thomas was a 2010 1st Round Pick who struggled as a rookie and in his second pro season due to injuries, but he was healthy in his third year where he showed off over the next five years what was expected of him.  Thomas went to the Pro Bowl in 2012 with a 1,434 Years and 10 Touchdown season, and in 2013 he had similar yardage (1,430) with a career-high 14 Touchdowns.  It was another Pro Bowl year, and he would set a then record 13 Receptions in their Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks.  

2014 would see him go to his third Pro Bowl with career highs of 111 Receptions and 1,619 Receiving Yards, but it was 2015, a season where he was not chosen for the Pro Bowl (but still hit 1,304 Receiving Yards) where he won the Super Bowl.  Thomas had his last Pro Bowl in 2016 with his final four digit Receiving Yard campaign.  Before he was traded to the Houston Texans midway through the 2018 season, he finished his career at Mile High with 9,055 Yards for 60 TDs.
