Syracuse Football: Shamarko Thomas is perfect fit with Denver Broncos

You might want to pull out a notebook to keep track of all the movement of one Shamarko Thomas since he has left the Syracuse football program.

So let’s give a quick recap on where he has gone and how he ended up with the Denver Broncos.

He was originally drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers to be the heir apparent to Troy Polamalu, after riding out his rookie contract, he sat in free agency waiting for another chance to prove himself. Thomas saw an opportunity and signed with the Buffalo Bills to stay in the AFC and became a core special teams player and role player on defense.
