The Cleveland Browns have had a carousel of quarterbacks over the last 10 years that even diehard fans might have a hard time naming all those that started under center during that span.

Browns offensive lineman Joe Thomas put them all to shame, though, after easily rattling off each of the last 18 Browns quarterbacks that he helped protect in his 11-year NFL career so far. All. Eighteen. Quarterbacks.

Thomas accomplished the remarkable feat for an upcoming ESPN E:60 episode, which was made more impressive by the fact that Thomas didn’t even wince one bit as he enumerates one quarterback’s name after another. Other players probably would’ve needed a minute to catch their breaths after regurgitating names like Bruce Gradkowski, Charlie Frye, and Thad Lewis.

ESPN didn’t have to do that to Thomas, who is as down to earth as anyone you’d meet. They could’ve just read those names from this girl’s custom-made jersey.

Here’s hoping that ESPN tried to make up for the torture by giving Thomas a much easier memory test: naming all the opponents the Cleveland beat, say, over the last two years.
