Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Joe Thomas has seen a lot of praise this week following an accomplishment implausible to most in his profession.
Not to be overshadowed by what would amount to another road loss for the Browns on Sunday, Thomas lined up for his 10,000th consecutive snap. I want you to think about that for a moment. Ten years ago, in 2007, the Browns chose Thomas with the third-overall pick in the NFL Draft. Months after this, the University of Wisconsin product stepped on the field as a rookie and lined up for his first professional start. He hasn’t missed a snap since that day.
