By the time Julius Thomas parted ways with the Denver Broncos, a good portion of Broncos Country had soured on the talented tight end, but there’s no questioning his production on the field.
When healthy — which wasn’t as often as we’d like — he was right up there with Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham as the best tight end in the NFL.
Thomas blew past the numbers of Scheffler and Graham, and he did so in half the time, accruing all of his receiving numbers (aside from a 5-yard reception in his rookie year) in his final two seasons in Denver.
For Thomas, as he let the Jets know, it was “so F’n easy!”
