Say it ain’t so Joe! I’ve known for a couple of years that Cleveland Browns left tackle Joe Thomas wouldn’t play forever. But his recent comments have made it clear that he has not made up his mind on whether to return in 2018.
In April 2007 the Cleveland Browns made Thomas the third-overall selection in the NFL draft. Where was Joe? Fishing with his Dad in Wisconsin. In 2007, the idea of an expected top-10 pick not attending the draft was unusual. It also gave Browns fans a glimpse into the humor and humility that has defined a player who has become a Cleveland sports icon.
