The Jets showed a picture of Thomas in his New York jersey on the stadium videoboards with the words: "In Memory of Demaryius Thomas. 1987-2021."
Thomas spent his first eight NFL seasons in Denver after he was drafted in the first round out of Georgia Tech. He was a five-time Pro Bowl selection for the Broncos, with whom he became a favorite of fans and teammates. He later joined the Jets in his final NFL stop.
