It is with much sadness that we learned that Orlando Thomas passed away after a battle with ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Thomas played all seven of his National Football League seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, where he played Safety.
Thomas, who was drafted in the Second Round from the University of Louisiana-Lafayette had a very impressive rookie season where he led the National Football League in Interceptions. That was arguably his best season, but he would complete his career with 22 Interceptions and a 457 tackles.
We would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Orlando Thomas at this time.
