Former Ohio State WR, national champion sets NFL record
Back in 2014, Ohio State won a national title.
It was the first college football champion in the CFP era, as the Buckeyes first defeated Alabama in the semifinal and then Oregon in the national championship. In those two games, WR Michael Thomas — as a sophomore — registered 11 catches for 119 yards and 1 TD.
That was a glimpse of what his future would be like.
As a member of the New Orleans Saints, Thomas has done many remarkable things, breaking records on what seems like a regular basis. This Sunday was no different.
After catching 16 passes in Week 1 to start the 2018 season, the 6-foot-3 play-maker caught another 11 in Week 2. His 27 receptions through the first 2 games of the season set an all-time NFL record:

Thomas is already a game-changer, to say the least. And he’s only 25-years-old.
The best may be yet to come.
