Derrick Thomas – Pro Football Hall of Fame!

Finally! The late Derrick Thomas, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker, was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Here’s a photo gallery of the great #58.

I had been pushing for his selection for several years. I commented many times about Derrick Thomas and the Hall of Fame, starting back in 2005.

I was able to see Thomas play in person a person a few times. He took over games. The offense had to plan their game around him. He was that dominant.

Thomas died on February 8, 2000, from injuries suffered in a car accident.

Congratulations to Derrick’s family, friends, and the entire Kansas City Chiefs organization.

I'm sure you know my opinion of having to see him on the field twice each season. Nevertheless,

'Bout Time!
