Zach Thomas was one of the biggest, baddest linebackers of his generation, and he did most of his dominating in the aqua and orange.
In 12 seasons with the Miami Dolphins, Thomas recorded 1,640 tackles, 19.5 sacks, 17 interceptions, 16 forced fumbles and seven recovered fumbles. That level of production was good enough to earn him five First-team All-Pro selections, two Second-team All-Pro selections, seven Pro Bowl appearances and a spot on the NFL All-Decade Team for the 2000s.
Despite all of these achievements, Thomas finds himself outside of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, even though he’s been a finalist in each of the last three years.
