Broncos teammates pay tribute to Demaryius Thomas four years after his passing

Tuesday marked the four-year anniversary of the passing of former Broncos great Demaryius Thomas.

The legendary wide receiver is missed every day, taken far too soon at the young age of 33 on Dec. 9, 2021.

The Broncos put out a very nice tribute to the late, great Demaryius Thomas featuring many of his Super Bowl 50 teammates. The franchise honored the 10-year reunion of that memorable 2015 squad earlier this season as well as inducting “DT” into the Ring of Fame.

Peyton Manning, Aqib Talib, DeMarcus Ware, David Bruton Jr., Tyler Polumbus, Ryan Harris, Kayvon Webster, and Todd Davis all told stories about Thomas and remembered their friend.

A smile that’s forever shining down on us. 🫶

Not only was Demaryius Thomas a great football player, it’s clear he was a great guy. It seems like everyone that got to meet him, even if it was only once, had a positive experience.

Thomas had more than 9,000 yards receiving and 60 touchdowns during his time with the Broncos, but is remembered just as well off the field as he was on it. That’s called creating a legacy.

And for as much as it’s hard to believe it’s been four years since that shocking day Demaryius Thomas passed away, his impact and legacy lives on.

It’s nice to see the Broncos keep his memory alive, as they have all season and will continue to do so.
