CANTON, Ohio — As Thomas prepares for the ultimate honor—induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the people he's been around most recall that impact.Current Browns offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt called Thomas an"unbelievably gifted pro."
Browns left guard Joel Bitonio, who played next to Thomas and was mentored by the tackle during his playing days, called Thomas"tough,""hardworking," and begrudgingly gave his friend the title of"funny." Thomas' career—which included 10,363 consecutive snaps, 10 Pro Bowls, six coaches and 20 quarterbacks—has solidified him as one of the greatest to play the game.Soundoffs from those who played with him came in high numbers.
