Demaryius Thomas Breaks Records

Thomas is going to be a big part of the Broncos offense going forward, even with Emmanuel Sanders there to take pressure from him. Two single season records that he breaks:

Single season receptions (Broncos) now held by Rod Smith with 113 catches. Thomas actually sits in the #2 spot with 111. Thomas shatters this record with over 120 catches on the season.

Single season yards (Broncos) now held by Thomas with 1,619 yards. Thomas barely breaks this record, going for just over 1,620 yards on the season.

Along with those, Thomas will break his own record for single game receiving yards, and Brandon Marshall’s single game reception record. After a down year in 2015, Thomas really steps out this season. He is on a mission to prove his worth, and what better way than to break a bunch of records?

To add to this prediction, Thomas will do all this while setting a career low in dropped passes. He has such a good year he gets elected to the Pro-Bowl and All-Pro 1st team and gets mention as offensive player of the year, but doesn’t come away with that aware.
