ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas has waited over 17 years for his mother, Katina Smith, to see him play in a football game.
Thomas said that wait may finally be over Sunday for the Broncos' AFC divisional round game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
"That's what we're working on," Thomas said Wednesday. "Hopefully. That's the goal, though."
In July, President Barack Obama commuted the prison sentences of 46 nonviolent drug offenders, including Smith's.
