I'm going to compare him to AJ since they both have about the same body types.....
AJ was very productive at age 31 and 32 amassing over 3,000 receiving yards in those two years. At age 33, he fell off slightly with 936 yards in 15 games. At age 34 (w/Indianapolis), he dropped to 503 yards. And at age 35 (w/Tennessee), just 85 yards in 4 starts.
Thomas is 31 and has been seeing less targets especially this year with Denver bringing in new blood. He has 402 yards and 3 TDs for the year. Yep, he probably has lost a step and will probably drop a few. But I believe the jump ball in the end zone just got better - he's the big forward who can block out smurfy defenders... Durable, doesn't miss games....
So, if he's like AJ, he should have a couple of good years left....
