He was the best WR, and then Drew Brees retired.....😂😂😂

He carried my fantasy teams in the late 2010s.

Those foot surgeries took all his quickness from him

He got that Albert-Haynesworth syndrome. Got that $100 million dollar ($60 million guaranteed) contract inked, and getting up at 4:00 AM just didn’t seem that attractive anymore. Got a turf-toe injury, he knew he needed surgery and waited until it was time to report to camp to have his surgery. Ghosted the team. Got another $10 million guaranteed last year to show up to camp and play like half a season. He earned the money and decided to stop putting in the effort. I can understand why one would stop trying when they have enough money to give 3 generations a great lifestyle without any effort for the rest of his life.

Between the saints’ health mismanagement and season ending injury after injury, his stardom died. I miss Mike on the saints, he’s still my goat ⚜️

As a Saints fan, it sucks the No call happened. All the older players on the team are leaving or aren’t in their prime anymore. They would’ve had a chance to compete for a SuperBowl, but they may never get that chance again. About MT dude was our best WR in Saints history, talent wise, and he was on a Hall of Fame trajectory if the injuries didn’t happen. Another thing people don’t understand, is he played in the playoffs on Drew’s last year against the Bucs injured, but he did that to try to get Drew his second ring. He knew it could damage his career but he wanted Drew to go out as a champion again. I will always have respect for him for doing that. Dude was a leader and great mentor for the team and I honestly think he would’ve resigned to the Saints, if DA wasn’t here. Now I will say the medical team didn’t help at all, for years every Saints fan would tell you how horrible they have been. One injury that he had was misdiagnosed and is the reason way he is injury prone. He wasn’t lying about the medical staff on his way out. If they treated that injury I highly doubt his body would be as broken as it is now. I could say the same for a lot of the players that played for the team. Oschner’s been kinda mid on the Saints staff. As a patient of them, I’ve been good, but the players haven’t. Overall I hope he contributes to a contender and wins a championship. I will always route for him, unless he goes to the Falcons lol

Michael Thomas went Keyshawn Johnson in a way that Johnson once said JUST THROW ME THE DAMN BALL🤣🤣 14:12

Minnesota may have beaten the Saints off that Miracle but to be honest I believe Saints should've got Payback on the Rams from the 2018 NFC Title Game off the biggest mistake of a NO PI Calls in NFL History 8:00

I showed my gf your videos and she’s actually taking a liking to football, she’s started asking a bunch of questions about it, im eternally grateful that I can now bond with her through one of my favorite things in the world, because of your videos.

Michael Thomas was a absolute BEAST such a awesome phenomenal player to watch but his absolute BEST year in 2019 he'd broke an NFL Record for Receptions with 149 catches in one season earning hin the NFL's Offensive player of the year award then all of a sudden he just feel off a big cliff big time becoming a DIVA version of Owens and Moss

Do one on Ezekiel Elliott and Sam darnold

You always have great videos please keep making them!!

For me, being a Saints fan, was when in 21' he didn't have his ankle surgery until right before the season and knew for months before he needed it and team doctors told him to have it. I remember it upset Sean Payton when he just has the surgery and has to sit out the whole season.

Awesome video this was crazy detailed it sounded like I was watching flemlo raps idk why I wasn’t subbed before 🔥🔥

I noticed you dyed your hair looks good! also you so underrated

Bro was a slant god

😢 this hurts

Excellent video! It describes his career with accurate context of the ups & downs.

I'm a Life Long Saint Fan/Survivor. Carr ain't Brees. MT is legendary. Whoever gets him he is an asset.

Ever Since Drew Brees retired in 2020 things just from BAD to absolute WORST 10:50

Congrats on 100k long time coming

Very nice Lauren! Gives a little context to why the Chiefs haven’t signed him and probably shouldn’t

New subscriber . you definitely know your ball . Keep the videos coming .

I am a Buckeye fan who roots for the Saints in the NFL. I LOVED watching Thomas. it makes me sad how his last few seasons went in NOLA and the fact that he set the bridge back "on fire" it doesn't seem like I will ever see him in a Saints uniform ever again....

The legend of sexy squidward.

Playing on that turf fkd him up

When the world needed him the most, he vanished.

As a Buccaneers fan I’m kinda glad he went away. We got terrorized by Julio Jones’s for a decade, thought we had another one to deal with

So we not going to talk about Alvin kamara

Brandon Cooks disappeared after getting too close to Malcolm Jenkins in the Superbowl. FLY EAGLES FLY!!!

2:59 his career was almost over 😢 thank god it didn’t happen

Lucky enough that my cousin has a pic with MT from a few years ago 😂

I remember him and he was fun to watch for sure.

Randy Moss and TO might have something to say about the NFL best WR 😂

Sucks he’s just constantly injured he’s got so much talent

He will sign after June 1st... non guaranteed contract, protects the team

Great vid im here wondering what hapoened to him? Was realky good a few years ago. U think cause of injuries? Rangers advanced!

Why did we release him 😭

Carlton Davis destroyed this man’s career

Bro keep it up. You be on point with ur vids

when that salary was adjusted, he did not lose that money it was turned into bonus money.

His injuries took his agility. He doesnt have the same explosiveness out of his breaks, and out if his vertical. And he always had a decent amount of contested catches. He had a decent yeat considering he only played 10 games. He can still be a decent option and if he can stay healthy, and if you take last year could get around 60-85 grabs. But he doesnt come out if his breaks the same and isnt the same player who get all those contested catches. But that is all from his ankle injuries.

He might as well Retire now 15:00

He should come to the giants and have a career year 😭🙏🏼

Good video I wondered what happen, I thought the Rook came in and he was mad 😁 thinking his targets go down sounds like his body let him down, and not having Drew any more and the rookie there now.. prolly figured he was going to get traded.

The 👑 of the slant 🫡

Forever MT13 love , sad how those injuries caught up

He started to think he was bigger than the team once he got that contract

30 pounds of muscle in one offseason? Impossible

Miss your hockey content. LETS GO RANGERS

He never was the fastest on the field, but he was always the toughest. That’s what I liked about him because after contact he was a dog I believe if he’s the right system, he can make some noise. I would honestly like to see him go to Minnesota.

Great video Lauren 📹 ready for some football Lauren l know l am, l'm doing the NFL fantasy football draft at the end of this month on the 29th of May

Oh what are the chances that my team is the Rams? Yes I was watching that game while I was working at a resturaunt and even the crowd went nuts when that non PI penalty was called lmao I just watched in silence unconcious of anything that happened during that play because everything happened so fast I litterally lost consciousness lol The energy amongst my surroundings was way too strong to process the moment.

And now he’s on the bengals god help us

M. Thomas was good when good when he had Drew throwing at him but after he retired M. Thomas sustain injuries which has slowed him down, his production has dropped mostly because of injuries.

What Happened to Michale Thomas: Michael Tomas became a Diva, but Kamar Slapped Him back Down to Earth.

He's a great example as an athlete having God given talent that never put the necessary work in at a young age until something in him finally clicked and he took full advantage of it to maxamize the specialized talents he was given. This is generally how the majority of the mega super stars get to where they get to. On the other hand many children do not ever get to reach their max potential at their talents because of the way the world is set up. Which is exactly why I remind everyone to stay in faith with God and alignment on the purpose he assigned you on in this earth

I thought that was nba young boy right quick 😂

He had that Jarvis Landry career arc, the saints rode him too hard and he broke down

I notice how you said he was playing worse but if he’s as good as these clips show in coverage he should still get passed to no problem

Hi huge fan Sending good Vibes from México

He got paid then forgot how to play

Mike has sooo much potential he has the talent but unfortunately he couldn’t stay healthy, he looked slow and just didn’t seem to be in it.

Michael Thomas was an absolute elite pairing with Brees. Brees was a model of consistency when it came to accuracy and decision-making. Thomas wasn't going to burn anybody. However, his route running, big body, wingspan, and baseball mitt hands were perfect for a QB like Brees or even Bridgewater who was also consistent in accuracy, avoiding forced misplaced balls while being a surgeon in short-intermediate throws. Thomas got spoiled, big-headed, and his antics turned him into a diva. That aside, he was still a great WR but the ankle and knee injuries were to much for a elite possession guy who requires separation. Those injuries took away that 1 extra step he had and he couldn't just box out guys every play. He was good at it but that's too much physicality for someone injury prone in their later years.

2 years to come back to play from foot injuries. Damar Hamlin died on the field and was back in 6 months. Smh

At what institution of elementary level learning did Michael Thomas acquire the obvious lack of grammar he vividly displayed on X? If one is going to complain and blame others for one’s lack of performance it is essential that said allegations be clearly stated and easily understood. Thank God Thomas did not insist on using “They/Them” plural pronouns for his singular based complaint against the Saints to even more conflate his shit-show.

It was an absolute shame what happened to Michael Thomas. A 2nd round draftee who turned into an all pro, WON the triple crown, GOT paid, and then it all just FELL APART in 2020 with that ankle injury. He was just SLICK as a route runner and then THAT happens.

are we not talking about larry fitzgerald

Worst call ever.

His body is absolutely different from 2019 to 2021. He lost all his muscles, crazy.

The problem was that he couldn't stay healthy and strong every year 10:18

Minneapolis miracle!!!!

Haven’t seen a female doing these type of videos I like it subbed

Are you sure he didn't make the cover of Madden?

That man got big headed , I’m saints fan he thought his job couldn’t be replaced and he also dealing with injuries but he a big diva !

Randy moss is not missing

Has anyone even seen him in 2024? Best put up the posters

Buffalo might try and sign him

The amount of RECs were gonna always come back to bite him later on in his physical prime you cant get the ball in the spaces in the way that he did in his prime forever i might be in the minority of not being surprised hes fallen off 😂

When tf was he ever the best wr though? Bro had 2 good years 😂😂😂😂.

He was smart.. got that cash and bounced.

Always gonna be a fan of a girl who knows her football 💪 ❤

Yeah because he got paid his guaranteed contract he was no long interested after that. Some guys enjoy playing the game some guys play their hearts out for the first 4 years of their careers just to get paid then disappear. Blame it on injuries that were fighting through before they got paid big money.

I saw this kid play at Taft and what I witnessed he did not impress me what so ever lol

He still can get signed injuries do happen

He has a lot of AB vibs. From the best at the position to a cast-off with a reputation for being a diva and causing problems off the field.

I hope this doesn't happen after Justin Jefferson gets seriously paid. They're going to give him the keys to Fort Knox.

He didn’t disappear, he got hurt

Was that not the season Brady won the ship?

He's a free agent

I’m not going to lie, I only clicked on this video because the thumbnail looks EXACTLY like another KZfaqr that I watch. But you sound EXACTLY like him(your cadence, you emphasis, your enunciation, so I will watch some more of your stuff. (I’m a football Nerd, and it’s nice to find a woman that is also.) ((NOT a sexist comment. Don’t do me like Cam Newton! LoL))

Ever since he threw Brees under the bus for merely saying all lives matter his career went to 💩. He’s a 🤡

Money changes people.... when you’re broke you will play with injuries.... with 60 million in the bank not so much... He did have a great run , but you can see his heart isn’t into football anymore......

So he signed up for a military school to play football. Then as soon as CK started talking a knee MT did also. His backing of BLM & so on drove people away from even slightly liking him

Injuries plain and simple

People forget Herman Moore ,wr Detroit in the 90’s put up these kinda numbers too with Mid to low level Qb’s …Herman Moore also has almost double the career TD’s with almost the same Amount of career catches ..Thomas has 565 for 36TD’s . Moore has 670 for 62 TD’s . Not discrediting Thomas but Moore has an argument at least on stats

I wish so bad he was still good

He was never really the best wide receiver, not even top 5. He was the only receiver the saints had for a while which really helped, just looking at the 2019 roster…the next best guy was Taysom Hill.

CTE?????

Has Thomas in fantasy in the late 2010s. Sad that he fell off.
