Brees was an All-Rookie with 1,137 Yards, and he was ninth in that stat and Receptions (92).  He improved in 2017 with 1,245 Yards (6^th), and he increased his Receptions to 104 (3^rd).  That would give Thomas his first Pro Bowl, and as good as that year was, he would only rise from there.

Thomas led the NFL in Receptions in both 2018 and 2019, and in the latter year, he led the league in Receiving Yards (1,725) and was named the Offensive Player of the Year, though that was his highwater mark.

Thomas was injured for most of 2020, and he missed the entirety of 2021.  Entering 2022 with a plehora of question marks, Thomas only played three Games, and in 2023, he was healthier, albeit with 10 appearnaces.   Going into 2024, Thomas is still with New Orleans, but has only played 20 Games in the 2020s.  It is uncertain how much production he has left, but it looks like it will be in a Saints uniform.
