After the Saints’ 11th game of the year, after Michael Thomas somehow had crossed the 100-catch and 1,200-yard thresholds for the season already and after New Orleans moved to 9–2, I had a question for this full-fledged superstar.
Did the 26-year-old know who was the last player at his position to win NFL MVP?
He paused for a second.
“Nope, no receiver has,” he answered.
Should one in his circumstances be considered?
“You tell me,” he said, laughing.
