Meeting Thomas alone is a pretty cool holiday treat. But receiving a gift from the Pro Bowl receiver is even better. It’s easy to understand why the child couldn’t contain his excitement and enthusiasm.
Thomas is enjoying another outstanding season in New Orleans. He’s totaled 145 catches for 1,688 yards and nine touchdowns. The Saints are currently 12-3 and have clinched the NFC South crown.
New Orleans closes out its season against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday before entering the NFL playoffs.
