Thomas retired from the NFL in June, signing with the Broncos for his farewell. His former teammate Peyton Manning offered kind words on Friday.
“DT was a better person than he was a player, and he was a Hall of Fame player,” Manning said. “That tells you how good of a person he was. He treated my kids like they were his own. He was there for every teammate’s charity event. … Absolutely devastated.”
