In 2010, the Broncos drafted Thomas a few spots before Tim Tebow. The two were stars of the Broncos’ incredible 2011 magical season and one of the greatest moments in franchise playoff history took place that season when Tebow hit DT for a walk-off game-winning touchdown in overtime to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Demaryius Thomas, a five-time Pro Bowl selection who died in 2021 and whose signature smile was as big a part of his legacy with the Denver Broncos as his long list of big plays, will be inducted into the team's Ring of Fame during the 2025 season.

Demaryius Thomas, the All-Pro wide receiver and Super Bowl 50 champion who died in 2021 at the age of 33, has been elected into the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame, the team announced Tuesday. Thomas played parts of 10 seasons with the Broncos and earned all five of his Pro Bowl berths while playing in Denver.
