Zach Thomas made seven Pro Bowls during his twelve years with the Dolphins, and he played his 13th and final NFL season with the Cowboys. One of the all-time great Linebackers, I believe Thomas deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame. This one is a special return for me, as I met Thomas at a local sports card shop more than 20 years ago when I was a little kid and he was a rookie. He talked with me and my brother, took a picture with us, and signed autographs for us. We met him a second time in a local bowling alley, and he remembered us. I rooted for him throughout his career, always following how he did. Because of him, the Dolphins were my third favorite football team (behind the Cowboys and the Patriots) for a long time. I was thrilled when he came to Dallas, though his career was nearly over by then. Zach is a great guy. It means a lot to a ten-year-old boy whenever a star NFL player takes time to make his day, and it's something I'll never forget. Thanks, Zach!
