If we learned one thing this season, it’s that Michael Thomas is the best receiver in the NFL. That’s why the New Orleans Saints superstar receiver was able to secure that nine-figure extension this past offseason.
For the Saints, the player that’s been the biggest beneficiary of Thomas’ stay in the Big Easy is Drew Brees. Brees, now 41, has seen his league-best completion percentage stay so high because of Thomas’ consistently steady hands.
Setting the NFL record for receptions in a season in 2019, Thomas helped lead the Saints to a 13-3 record.
Along with that receptions record, Thomas notched the most yards in the NFL as well.
