Kansas City Chiefs

Thomas was drafted in the sixth round of the 1989 NFL draft (143rd overall) by the Kansas City Chiefs.^[2] Thomas spent half of his rookie season on the IR, had 8 receptions for 58 yards and 2 touchdowns while adjusting to Marty Schottenheimer's offense. The following season, Thomas started 12 games for the Chiefs, snagging 41 receptions for 545 yards and 4 touchdowns. In his third and final season in Kansas City, Thomas led the team with 43 receptions and 495 yards while starting 12 games alongside rookie Tim Barnett.^[3]

Seattle Seahawks

Thomas signed a free agent deal with the Seattle Seahawks in 1992. Thomas provided depth for the Seahawks at the wide receiver position but only started 1 game in his first three seasons in Seattle. In his fourth and final season in Seattle, he would start 2 games and make 12 receptions for 239 yards and a career-high 19.9 yards a reception.^[4]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

In 1996, after four seasons playing in Seattle, Thomas signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, playing for rookie head coach Tony Dungy. With the Buccaneers, Thomas had his first chance for significant playing time since playing for the Chiefs. He would start 8 games in 1996 and make 33 receptions for 427 yards and 2 touchdowns. His playing time would diminish over his final two seasons, as younger receivers came into the organization. Thomas' final reception in his 10-year NFL career came on a 50-yard touchdown catch on December 27, 1998, on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals. This would be his final NFL game.^[5]
