Earl Thomas is one of the best safeties in the NFL.
And he remains a member of the Seahawks because Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones and the Cowboys would not part with more than a second-round draft pick to acquire him.
Even if the ex-Texas Longhorns’ star continued his pro career in his home state, many believed that his impact in Week 1 of this NFL season would be limited at best. He did, after all, elect to miss all of training camp and the NFL preseason.
As it turns out, people underestimated how good Thomas still is.
