Why Michael Thomas is the best WR

The 6'3", 203-pound monster born March 3, 1993, in Los Angeles, California, from Ohio State University, best wide receiver in the league, number 13,on the New Orleans Saints, Michael Thomas. He holds the NFL record for most receptions by a player through his first three seasons, with 321. The legendary wide receiver Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson commented on Michael Thomas saying, "I love what Michael Thomas is doing in New Orleans, I’d like him to win MVP for being CONSISTENT which is hard to do when they’re game planning to stop you each Sunday, defensive coverages are called based on where you line up & you STILL get off‼️

Ochocinco said “As a receiver in today’s game you have to be ecstatic that the league is pass-happy now, I remember before every game hearing coach say ‘we have to establish the run to open the pass,’ nah son I’m open before the snap.” He leads the NFL with 94 receptions, the most catches through 10 games in league history. He is on pace to break the single-season record of 143 receptions, which former retired Indianapolis Colts’ star Marvin Harrison set in 2002. Michael Thomas is first in the league with 1,141 receiving yards, which puts him on track for 1,826 yards. Calvin Johnson (1,964 yards in 2002) and Julio Jones (1,871 yards in 2015) are the only two players with more yards in a season. Michael Thomas is the first player in NFL history with at least 90 catches in each of his first four seasons. Drew Brees also said about his main target wide receiver was “Here’s the thing: If you saw the guy work and you saw the guy prepare, it’s just what we see every day in practice, honestly,” Brees told reporters this week. “It’s one of those things that, when it’s all said and done, you look back and really, really appreciate it. I just love his mindset. He is a, ‘I want the ball, I will get open, I will make the play for you’ kind of guy. That’s the kind of guy you want.” The day the Saints chose him, Thomas said he was eager to get his professional career started. He wrote on twitter, “Hey, Drew Brees, let’s get to work.” He's lived up to the statement and that's why he's the best wide receiver in the game.
