named to the NFL 2010s All-Decade team. Noted for his durability, quickness, and athleticism at left tackle, many attribute his legendary pass blocking skills to his unorthodox style, utilizing a "shot put" method to kick off the line. Of 6,680 pass blocking attempts, Thomas allowed only 30 sacks during his career. He was also known for rarely committing holding penalties. Thomas is the only offensive lineman in NFL history to be voted to ten consecutive Pro Bowls. He was chosen on NFL.com as the 7th greatest offensive tackle of all time, as well as the third greatest Cleveland Brown of all time. He became eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2023 and was inducted that year. Post-retirement After retiring, Thomas lost 50 pounds. Thomas is an analyst for the NFL Network, appearing on pre-game and post-game Thursday Night Football shows. He now co-hosts a popular podcast, the ThomaHawk Show, with fellow former NFL and Cleveland Browns player Andrew Hawkins. He also continues to do media work with the Browns organization, including game analysis and breakdowns with the “Cup of Joe” segments beginning with the 2020 season. Thomas competed in season 2 of The Titan Games as a Central Division Titan. He was a 3-time undefeated Titan in the Central Division, but missed out on being the Central Champion.
