: Last year, New Orleans wide receiver Michael Thomas set rookie franchise records for catches (92), receiving yards (1,137) and receiving touchdowns (nine).
So, especially after Brandin Cooks was traded to the Patriots, it’s no surprise Thomas has become the go-to guy for quarterback Drew Brees.
Thomas has already been targeted 18 times in 2017, and he leads the Saints with 10 catches and 134 yards.
“He’s a great young wide receiver. Drew gets the ball to him a lot,” safety Kurt Coleman said. “He has size, quickness, great hands, and he does a great job of being able to adjust to the ball in the air.
