Former Ohio State WR, after record breaking season, named unanimous NFL All-Pro selection
Published:
Michael Thomas starred at Ohio State, playing in Columbus from 2012-15.
He then became a second round NFL Draft selection in 2016 and has become a superstar with the New Orleans Saints. This regular season, he broke the single-season receptions record with 149, passing Marvin Harrison’s 143 catches with the Indianapolis Colts back in 2002.
Thomas, at 26-years-old, is in his prime (and the best may be yet to come).
