Julius Thomas hopes people keep saying he’s a product of his quarterback

Since free agency became part of the NFL, we’ve seen many wide receivers and tight ends parley good numbers with one team into a big contract with another club.

Those players often fail to reach the same level after moving on, which leads to their good work being credited to playing with a good quarterback or in a good offense. Tight end Julius Thomas is aware that some people will make that suggestion about him as he goes from playing with Peyton Manning on the Broncos to catching passes from Blake Bortles on the Jaguars, but he hopes they keep saying he’s a product of the quarterback for his entire career.
