At 32 years old, Browns left tackle Joe Thomas remains one of the NFL’s best players
Thomas on Monday night was voted by his peers as the 25th-best player in the NFL Network’s “Top 100 Players of 2017” rankings.
“He’s a Hall of Fame left tackle,” Packers defensive end Ricky Jean-Francois said. “That kick he has, that kick back can cover 5 yards probably in two to three kicks. I tried to rush him a few times just to get him off the edge and he just won’t break.”
Thomas, who remains the longest-tenured active player on the youth-laden Browns, has never missed a snap (9,934 and counting) or a game (160 and counting) since being selected third overall in the 2007 NFL Draft.
