‘Devastating': New England Patriots Pay Tribute to Former Teammate Demaryius Thomas

The New England Patriots are giving their condolences after their former teammate, Demaryius "D.T." Thomas, died at the age of 33.

Thomas, a retired NFL wide receiver, was found dead in his suburban Atlanta home Thursday night. Preliminary investigation indicates his death involved a medical issue, police said. Family members of Thomas told the Associated Press that they believe he died from a seizure.

Thomas earned five straight Pro Bowl honors and a Super Bowl ring during a prolific receiving career spent mostly with the Denver Broncos. Though his time as a New England Patriot was brief, he was remembered fondly by his former teammates.
