The Facts: Thomas said earlier this offseason that 2015 was "the worst of my past four years," citing a high number of drops as a reason why his performance fell short of where he wanted it to be. During an interview with Alex Marvez and Kirk Morrison of Sirius XM NFL Radio, Thomas talked some more about feeling like he fell short last season. "I think the main thing was sometimes thinking too much," Thomas said. "I wasn't there for OTAs, I wasn't there for minicamp. And then you had new routes. It was different for the quarterbacks because it was something Peyton [Manning] had never done before, Brock [Osweiler] had never done, either."
Thomas didn't work with the Broncos during the offse
Diehards Line:ason because he was trying to work out a long-term deal after getting the franchise tag and said criticism after he signed his new deal got to him while he was also adjusting to the news that his mother would be released from prison, all of which added up to too much noise in his head. Thomas will have to work with a new quarterback this year, but it’s the same offense and he’s already said he thinks the Broncos will be fine under center once they settle on their starter. We'll also remind you that despite a high number of drops, Thomas still caught 105 passes for 1,304 yards.
