Saints 2016 Year in Review: Michael Thomas
92 / 1,137 / 9.
Welcome to the Bigs, young man.
The New Orleans Saints second round pick (47th overall) in the 2016 NFL Draft turned out to be quite a catch (pun intended). Michael Thomas came out of Ohio State after 3 seasons, having accrued 1,602 yards on on 113 receptions for 18 TDs in 39 games.
As a pro, he fell short of that college career total by just 21 receptions, 465 yards, and 9 TDs.
In 24 fewer games.
It’s safe to say @cantguardmike is special. Among rookie WRs, Thomas was #1 in receptions (by 27), #1 in yards (by 454), and #1 in TD receptions. Among the rest of the WRs, he didn’t fare too poorly, either.
