Former Syracuse safety ejected from NFL preseason game on Thursday

As soon as he entered the NFL in 2013 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, former Syracuse safety Shamarko Thomas predicted that he had a career of fines coming his way in the future. During his time in the league, Thomas has become known for delivering some pretty violent hits to his opponents.

On Thursday night, this trend continued.

Now a member of the Indianapolis Colts, the 27-year-old safety participated in the team’s preseason matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday.
