Future Hall of Fame offensive tackle Joe Thomas suffered through a frustrating one-win season with the Cleveland Browns. For the 10-time Pro Bowler, it couldn’t have been a fun season. It also came with rumors floating that Thomas himself might want out of dodge.
For the former No. 3 overall pick, his 2016 season did end on a high note. Thomas and the AFC defeated their NFC counterparts 20-13 in the Pro Bowl in Orlando on Sunday night.
He was obviously excited about collecting his second win of the season.
What a great pro bowl!! AFC wins and I double my yearly win total all in the same night!

It surely doesn’t hurt that Thomas earned a cool $61,000 by virtue of his conference’s win in the otherwise meaningless exhibition game.
Let’s just hope for Thomas’ sake that his team wins another game before he takes part in what will likely be the 11th consecutive Pro Bowl next January.
