ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Demaryius Thomas hit the jackpot this week — 48 hours BEFORE signing his $70 million contract.
The Denver Broncos star receiver awoke Monday morning to see he'd missed two calls from the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida.
He jumped out of bed.
His heart and mind both raced.
Suddenly, footballs and fortunes were no match for faith and family.
Could this really be happening?
"I knew it was something because I've never seen her call me that early," Thomas said Friday.
His stared at his phone, awaiting another call.
