Demaryius Antwon Thomas (born December 25, 1987) is an American football wide receiver who is a free agent.
He played college football at Georgia Tech, and was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. With Denver, Thomas made five Pro Bowls and won Super Bowl 50 over the Carolina Panthers.
Death
On December 9, 2021, Thomas was discovered unconscious at his residence in Roswell, Georgia. He was later pronounced dead, just 16 days before his 34th birthday. The cause of death was believed to be a seizure, secondary to injuries Thomas suffered in a 2019 car crash. Police said that his death was attributed to a "medical issue". After his death, Thomas’ brain was donated to Boston University for examination, which tested positive for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative condition associated with repeated head trauma.
