Thurman Thomas

Thurman Thomas belongs to a vanishing breed: the dual-threat back who could grind out yards and slip into the flat to catch passes, making him the engine of those great Buffalo Bills offenses. What I admire most is not the Hall of Fame plaque but the quiet durability of running between the tackles for thirteen seasons, a position that chews men up. To me he reads as a craftsman's craftsman, the kind of player whose value showed up in wins more than in highlight reels.
