It's official. Story:
There was little doubt he’d be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but that expectation has been made official as Cleveland Browns legend, former left tackle Joe Thomas, was announced as a 2023 inductee to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Of the 11 years Thomas spent in the league, all were with Cleveland as the Browns selected him with the third overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. In order to have been selected as an inductee, Thomas needed at least 80% of the vote from a committee of 49 individuals. That felt sure to happen, and it did.
"[In 2007] I said that I would like to become the starter and make the Pro Bowl and then make the Hall of Fame. I didn't really think anything of it, but it kind of was a little bit of a newsworthy item for this rookie to say that he wanted to go into the Hall of Fame," Thomas said back in September."Those are some pretty lofty goals for a guy that has never played a game in the NFL to say that he wanted to be in the Hall of Fame. That is where my mindset was.
