As much change and chaos that’s happened around Thomas during his career, it hasn’t impacted his play. He’s blossomed into everything Cleveland could’ve hoped for when it drafted him third overall in 2007.
The Browns are placing unprecedented emphasis on their offensive line.

The right tackle competition is still open, but pairing that trio with Thomas should make the Cleveland line arguably its biggest strength.
