Brees was an All-Rookie with 1,137 Yards, and he was ninth in that stat and Receptions (92). He improved in 2017 with 1,245 Yards (6th), and he increased his Receptions to 104 (3rd). That would give Thomas his first Pro Bowl, and as good as that year was, he would only rise from there.
Thomas led the NFL in Receptions in both 2018 and 2019, and in the latter year, he led the league in Receiving Yards (1,725) and was named the Offensive Player of the Year, though that might be his highwater mark.
Thomas was injured for most of 2020, and he missed the entirety of 2021. Entering 2022 with a plehora of question marks, Thomas still could go down as the greatest Wide Receiver in franchise history, which he will if he stays off of the IR.
