September 11th. Thomas was an All State performer at Lanier for Coach Godfrey Steiner and then
earned All America Honors at FSU where he was the school’s first black football player. He was a first
round draft choice of the Pittsburgh Steelers following his senior season and was a member of 4 Super
Bowl winning squads as an integral part of the famed “steel curtain” defense. Thomas, who was a Pro
Bowl selection in 1976, played for the Steelers from 1973 until 1981 and ended his career at Denver
