Former Georgia Tech star Demaryius Thomas tragically passed away on Thursday at 33 years old.
According to reports, Thomas’ family believes he suffered a seizure while taking a shower on Thursday. He had been dealing with seizures as a result of a 2019 car accident.
Thomas was a first round pick out of Georgia Tech in the 2010 NFL Draft — an almost unbelievable accomplishment for a receiver playing in a triple option offense.
He went on to play in the NFL for a decade, mostly with the Denver Broncos. He compiled five 1,000-yard seasons and scored 63 touchdowns. He was a member of Denver’s Super Bowl 50-winning team as well.
Perhaps Thomas’ most famous moment came in a playoff game vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers. He caught a pass over the middle from Tim Tebow on the first play of overtime and took it to the end zone.
Thomas was 33 years old.
