for 10 seasons, primarily with the Denver Broncos. He played college football at Georgia Tech, and was drafted by the Broncos in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Thomas made five consecutive Pro Bowls and won Super Bowl 50 against the Carolina Panthers. He also played for the Houston Texans, New England Patriots and New York Jets.

Please keep DT’s family in your prayers. He would have been just 33 years old.

Other reporters are now confirming the report.

Just got confirmation as well.

Demaryius Thomas has passed.

One of the kindest humans I've ever met. EVER.
