the 2000’s were the golden era for Linebackers. Thomas, Lewis , Urlacher, ect.

And the fact that he achieved all of this while playing in the exact same era as Ray Lewis makes his career even better. If Ray didn’t play Zach would have definitely got more 1st team All-Pros. Absolute machine and glad he finally got in the Hall

People that say he didn’t belong in hall of fame never watched him play

He’s more deserving of the HOF induction. He put his whole imprint on the 2000s

gotta give credit to the defensive tackles that kept blockers off of Zach Thomas so he could run to the ball and make plays. Tim Bowens was immovable, Daryl Gardner played with a nasty streak and had the best handwork I've seen in a defensive lineman

It’s about time Zach Thomas got his due into the Hall of Fame, well deserved, can’t wait to see him on Saturday.

The people who vote for the HOF should have seen this video. Should have been in 1st year of eligibility. PLAN AND SIMPLE!!!!

Just came here from a Hall of Fame reaction video that he was in. Knew absolutely nothing about the player but his reaction was so genuine I had to come here. The comment section was overflowing with Zach Thomas "well overdue". So I came here to check out his work. Wow, what instincts and tackling ability. Very impressive.

Back when football was football. I miss those days.

Zach Thomas was so good, he was my mom’s favorite player when he was playing, I was almost named after him actually

People throw the word “underrated” around plenty but Thomas epitomises it. 7 All-Pros, 7 Pro Bowls and 10 seasons of 100+ tackles as a 5th-round pick; he had an insane career. He deserved to go in earlier but glad he’s finally going into the HoF.

I hated the Dolphins but, Zack Thomas was one of my favorite MLB's of all-time.

He truly was blessed with some of the best awareness/play recognition ever seen. Him, Jason Taylor, and Junior Seau together for a few years was awesome…

As a die hard, HARDCORE Phins fan who watched EVERY SINGLE GAME ZT54 ever played in ... I swear, I would give ANYTHING to watch him play football again for us. ZT54 was an absolute MISSILE ... a BEAST ... and a BOSS for us for so many years, many of them "down years". ZT54 busted his ass for the Dolphins and us Phin fans for a long time, and he never complained ... he never cheated himself ... and he never cheated the Phin fans, and you can tell when you watched him play. Its why he is UNIVERSALLY LOVED by Phin fans everywhere, and by god do I miss him.

You didn't have to be a Dolphins fan to appreciate and love watching that man play.

Zach Thomas legend of the legends 🙏🏻

I've been watching a lot of Dolphins games from that era and Thomas was like a mini-tank. The guy just hit opposing players with force. He and Dat Nguyen were very similar in their style of play. I couldn't like Thomas at the time (i'm a Bills fan) but I LOVED Nguyen and in watching Thomas again I LOVE his play. It took way too long for him to get in the HOF.

A top 10 Inside Linebacker. Zach Thomas was a tackle machine who just had a nose for the ball. Patriots fan here.. I played LB in high school and he was one of my favorite guys to watch

As a lifelong Dolphins fan, I'll admit that I might not be entirely objective, but I genuinely believe that Zach Thomas deserves a spot in my all-time top 5 of MLBs. His skills on the field were absolutely remarkable, and he was a force to be reckoned with. What a phenomenal player!

Purest definition of "Football Player" = Zach Thomas
