Michael Thomas, Class of 2011, Earns NFL All-Rookie Team Honors

By Gil Brandt | NFL Media senior analyst | NFL.com

Wide receiver: Michael Thomas, New Orleans Saints (FUMA PG Class of 2011)

Draft position: Round 2, No. 47 overall.

Thomas was one of the steals of the draft, and he's going to be a star. He's a big target, has great hands and runs fabulous routes, especially for someone who was a three-year college player. Thomas had 92 catches -- second-most by a rookie in NFL history -- on 121 targets and just two drops. Compare that to Julio Jones, who had 83 catches on 129 targets and three drops.
