Former Jets WR Demaryius Thomas dies at 33

A beloved man and wide receiver, gone too soon.

Former NFL star Demaryius Thomas passed away this week. He was 33 years old.

According to Paul Newberry of the Associated Press, Thomas’ cousin, LaTonya Bonseigneur, claims the family thinks a seizure was what eventually led to his death. Police officers had apparently found Thomas at home in his shower.

Thomas was a four-time Pro Bowler, a two-time second-team All-Pro, and a Super Bowl champion during his NFL tenure, which lasted from 2010-19. Each of the aforementioned accomplishments came during his successful stint with the Broncos (2010-18).
