All-Pro WR Michael Thomas, calls Henry Ruggs of Alabama the ‘steal of the draft’

Is help at wide receiver coming for Michael Thomas?

The former national champion at Ohio State and current superstar for the New Orleans Saints hopes so. After being selected in the second-round (No. 47 pick) of the 2016 NFL Draft, all Thomas has done is catch passes and score touchdowns.

He’s totaled 1,000-plus yards receiving during his four years in the National Football League, and he’s coming off a record-setting season of 149 catches in 2019. Thomas totaled a league-high 1,725 yards with nine scores last year, en route to earning his third Pro Bowl invitation, second first team All-Pro honor and first NFL Offensive Player of the Year award.
