Thomas is firmly in the upper echelon of NFL wide receivers after three consecutive seasons with 1,400 receiving yards and 10 receiving touchdowns, tied for second place all-time behind only Marvin Harrison.
Over that identical span (2012-14), Jeffery became just the fourth Bears’ player to register 1,000 receiving yards in consecutive seasons. He also set the club record with 249 yards receiving in a game versus Minnesota in 2013.
Both players have experienced highs and lows in 2015. Jeffery missed a month before reeling off three straight 100-yard receiving games. Thomas is on pace for another 100-catch year, but he has found the end zone only one time in nine games.
