MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Super Bowl weekend could be special for ex-Miami Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas.
Thomas is among 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
In his 12 years with Miami, the Dolphins legend racked up a mind-boggling 1,640 total tackles. Still, Thomas deferred the praise to his old teammates.
“Yeah, I’m honored and humbled by it. But as they say, it’s a team game and you’re only as good as what’s around you, and I had a lot of talent around me,” he said. “They did all the dirty work, our defensive line, and then I’m getting all the credit.
