Time continues to pass and yet we’re stuck asking the same question — how on earth isn’t Zach Thomas a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame?
Thomas, who was inducted into the Dolphin Honor Roll with Jason Taylor in 2012, is a three-time Hall of Fame finalist but hasn’t received the final push towards that gold jacket.
Throughout his 13-year career, Thomas was a five-time All-Pro and finished with less than 128 tackles in just one of his first 11 years in the league (99 tackles in 2000). As one of the best players to suit up in aqua and orange, many fans have wondered how he hasn’t received a Hall of Fame nod.
