After a 3-year outstanding career at Ohio State, Thomas was drafted in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He holds the NFL record for the most receptions (510) through his first 5 seasons, along with the most receptions in a single season with 149.
Even after a 2-5 start without Thomas, the Saints are still in the hunt for the NFC South divisional title. The Saints take on the Ravens on Monday.
