Saints wide receiver 'Can't Guard Mike' keeps living up to name


"METAIRIE, La. -- Trivia question: Who holds the NFL record for most receptions over the first two years of his career?

All right, the headline of this story probably gave it away. But file that one away to stump your buddies who aren't the most die-hard New Orleans Saints or Ohio State Buckeyes fans."


" Brees, meanwhile, said that what stands out most about Thomas is "just his mindset and then his work ethic to get better, like each and every day."

"Every rep is the most important of the day, if not his life," Brees said. "Every rep is a game rep, every rep is like a Super Bowl rep. So, not many guys I've ever played with are that competitive. I mean, there's really no situation where it's just like, 'Ahh, I'm gonna take this one off' or, 'Not gonna take this one as serious.' No. I mean every rep is the same mindset. So you know what you're gonna get out of him every day."

"And those are the best teammates. So I love that about him. I think it's one of his greatest qualities. I think it's the greatest quality that a player can have."

You can totally see that attitude in his play. He is always aggressively fighting the DB, instead of passively waiting for the ball to hit his hands. This is the kind of WR we have needed for a while. It seems like he is still improving as well. As great as DB9 is, having a receiver like MT makes him even better......even if the pass isn't perfect, usually MT is coming away with the ball.

The strategy to build this team around high character, hard working players is really paying off. Their work ethic is contagious.
