Quick little read about how great Thomas has been for the Saints and his ability to succeed in a non-traditional Saints offense.
Don’t Sleep on Michael Thomas and the Saints’ Passing Offense
Tidbits from the article:
"But don’t let the fact Drew Brees passed for fewer yards and touchdowns than he did any of his previous seasons with the Saints fool you—this squad can still do damage through the air, especially when second-year receiver Michael Thomas is Brees’s target. The former Buckeyes pass catcher proved his 2016 rookie campaign (92 catches, 1,137 yards, nine touchdowns) was no fluke this season, grabbing a Saints franchise-record 104 balls, amassing 1,245 yards and five scores, and emerging as a top-tier no. 1 receiver. "
"Thomas accomplished all that with a blend of size, speed, physicality, and body control—oh, and vise grips for hands."
"But the thing that makes this Saints offense so dangerous is that they have a future Hall of Famer throwing to one of the league’s best wideouts. Brees isn’t throwing as much as he used to, but he can still make defenses pay when he tosses it to Thomas. "
Take a few minutes to read, some great clips and examples of how the former Buckeye is dominating in his second year.
