The football world was hit with a shocking news last Thursday, as Denver Broncos legend Demaryius Thomas tragically passed away in his home. It's reported that the wide receiver died due to a seizure he suffered in the shower of his home in Roswell, Georgia. It was heartbreaking to see such a well-loved person in the NFL leave the world so soon, and at such a young age too.

A small consolation we get from this news, though, is hearing all the stories players, fans, and members of the media have about Demaryius Thomas. One such story came from one of Thomas' Broncos teammate, Tyler Polumbus. He spoke fondly about how DT (as he's called by many) took care of his son during their team's Super Bowl run.

Aside from being an absolute unit on the field, DT was a pure soul off of it. There are countless stories of Thomas being a class act for his teammates, or being incredibly kind to his fans (Broncos lifer or not). His legacy will not just be about his football career; it will also be about his incredible character off the field.

Tyler Polumbus' story about his son and Demaryius Thomas garnered significant attention on social media. Rather than make it about himself, the ex-Broncos player urged fans to tweet out their photos with DT.
