METAIRIE, La. -- Michael Thomas is putting on a clinic.
It's a Thursday afternoon in the New Orleans Saints training facility, well past the dog days of training camp and into the portion of the summer where weary players are counting down the days until the regular season.
Saints quarterback Derek Carr has decided the 30-year-old wideout is the day's favorite target. He sends three passes Thomas' way to start off 7-on-7 drills, then connects with him downfield on the first pass of 11-on-11 work.
Carr keeps at it, finishing off with two straight connections to Thomas in the two-minute drill.
