It's okay to acknowledge when other teams' players have good seasons. Young is a 1 man wrecking crew. He's top of the draft good. He set the record for PFF grade earlier in the year. He's impacted games about as much as a defender could.
I wouldn't give him the Heisman though, but he's worthy of getting an invite unlike someone in 2012. What a joke a year voting that was.

D Thomas was truly dominant. Unlike C Young, no one shut him down or out. He affected every game he played in that year. I was in awe watching him block punts, strip balls, make sacks , etc. Not sure about other SEC fans, but TM7 was the first defensive player since D Thomas affect so many phases of every game he played. (As an aside, if TM7 doesn’t miss Auburn due to a failed test for syn marijuana he finishes 2nd that year )

I never saw him play but I really enjoyed his NFL films tribute. Seems like a great guy.

Neither of those guys were even all that dominant that season

That was also before the days of spending all the extra attention, coaching, and preparing just for combine results.

I loved Thomas. Absolute legend and class act
Class Act?
"Derrick Thomas 7 kids by 5 women at the time of his death at age 33 in 2000 Thomas left no will, and his children’s mothers filed suit with the probate court for a share of his $1.16 million in assets, touching off a lengthy court battle".

Name brand is everything. Imagine if TM7 played for OSU or ND. You really have to rip the trophy from these brands hands to get the trophy.
