As we salute @joethomas73 on his magnificent career and wish him the best in future adventures, let’s remember criticism leveled b/c he went fishing w/his dad on draft day - Pro Bowl each of first 10 seasons - 10,363 consecutive snaps - fish away, Joe. https://t.co/FdmCPcPnv2

Not many offensive lineman retire and get pencilled into Canton 5 years from reitirment. @joethomas73 will walk into Canton on the first ballot. Not sure he’s been fully appreciated because he didn’t win in Cleveland

A brilliant career ends.

The retiring @joethomas73 leaves the Browns as a king.

Congrats on a beautiful, Hall of Fame career, JT.

Had the honor of getting to know Joe Thomas. Many public figures are more image than substance. Joe is one of the few people I met who was thought of highly publicly and actually exceeded that image in person. A great player and a greater person

No player has made more Pro Bowls than Joe Thomas since he entered the NFL in 2007 (tied with Tom Brady and Larry Fitzgerald)

Next stop Canton?
