WR: Demaryius Thomas

Although he does not always receive the love he deserves, Demaryius Thomas is easily one of the best wideouts to ever wear the Broncos’ orange and blue.

After being the first receiver off of the board in the 2010 NFL Draft, Thomas made an immediate impact, but his rookie season was cut short by injury. Although injuries were something Thomas dealt with often throughout his time with the Broncos, he always gave 100% effort to get back onto the field.

Thomas ended his sophomore season by setting franchise records, leading the team in both receiving yards and targets. This is where perhaps his most famous TD in NFL history took place—his 80-yard score against the Steelers in the playoffs.

At 10 seconds, it was the quickest TD in NFL history.

When Peyton Manning arrived in Denver, his connection with DT was electric, and their chemistry was a huge factor in the historic offense of the 2013 season.

In his time with Denver, Thomas won Super Bowl 50 and broke or tied 16 franchise records, including single-season receiving yards, single-season receiving touchdowns, and career games with at least 100 yards. He is a sure-fire future Ring of Famer, and perhaps he will be a Bronco once more before he hangs up his cleats and retires.
