Earl Thomas tries to paint himself as both elite and an underdog

Earl Thomas continues to be the main driving force behind Earl Thomas holdout stories. Usually with Instagram. On Monday, he made that even more apparent, posting the following message on Insta: “Always been the underdog ain’t nothing new . Extend .....if you don’t want me let’s make a trade happen I understand it’s a bizz”

There’s some interesting stuff in there, most importantly that one of the best safeties of all-time considers himself an “underdog.”

I don’t know if there’s ever been a time that Thomas has been considered an “underdog.
