5. WR Demaryius Thomas
Oddly enough, this is probably the one player not named Vernon Davis Broncos Country would disagree with, and I totally get it; he’s infuriating. He may be coming off a two-touchdown performance, but all Broncos fans can remember is his drop in the fourth quarter.
Still, DT, who’s been to the Pro Bowl in each of the last three years, is a fantastic football player. As I wrote last week, Thomas may be having an off year, but he’s still putting up one of the greatest seasons in Broncos history.
As of today, he’s sixth in receptions and ninth in yards; the one drawback is that he only has five touchdowns, tied for 37th in the NFL, but part of that has to be attributed to the Denver quarterbacks’ inability to put points on the board.
And if he continues on the pace he’s currently on, he’ll finish the season with 106 receptions, 1,289 yards and six touchdowns; by most any standard, that’s a Pro Bowl season.
Now, I’ll admit, I don’t think DT deserves a spot in the Pro Bowl, but I would completely understand if he did get in. Either way, the most important thing to remember is that he is still a Pro Bowl-caliber wide receiver, whether he actually plays in the game or not.
