Football legend Demaryius Thomas found dead at Georgia home

Denver: The legendary former Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas has been found dead at his home in Roswell, Georgia. He was 33.

Tragic news was revealed Thursday night when officials confirmed that he passed from an undisclosed medical issue. 

Soon after the news revealed, a slew of posts on social media started honoring former Denver Broncos Wide Receiver and Super Bowl Champion Demaryius Thomas. 

The cause of death is unknown yet.

Thomas played for the Houston Texans, New York Jets and New England Patriots.

In June, he announced his official retirement from the NFL after a 10-year career.

Thomas was part of the winningest four-year period in team history from 2012-15 with Peyton Manning at quarterback. The Denver Broncos went 55-17 during that span, winning two AFC titles and Super Bowl 50.

Thomas, known by fans as “DT,” was drafted by the Denver Broncos in 2010 and was instrumental in their Super Bowl 50 win playing alongside Peyton Manning.   

Thomas had countless memorable moments, including the 80-yard touchdown thrown by Tim Tebow in overtime against the Steelers in a 2012 playoff game.
