Demaryius Thomas

In Demaryius Thomas’ only full season with Mike McCoy the Denver Broncos found a scoring threat, reaching 10 touchdowns. McCoy helped Thomas reach another level in his game. On Monday night, do not be shocked if the Broncos bring back the famous screen play we saw from McCoy and Peyton Manning.

Some say Thomas is a product of Manning, but it is directly the opposite. Thomas has recorded a 1,000 yard season in five straight seasons. His play might seem inconsistent to some, but these type of numbers say otherwise. When all is said and done, Thomas will be an all-time great Broncos wide receiver.

Thomas needs 735 yards to pass Shannon Sharpe in receiving yards for second in team history. Now get this: Thomas only needs to record 3,686 yards to pass the great Rod Smith to be the leader in the clubhouse in receiving.

Thomas is primed and ready to run in the McCoy offense. Expect monster numbers from the future Ring of Famer.
