Joe Thomas Biography

Joe Thomas is a retired NFL Hall of Fame offensive tackle for the Cleveland Browns. He left the game of football as one of the most decorated linemen in league history. Hailing from Brookfield, Wisconsin, Thomas went on to play for the Wisconsin Badgers, where he won the Outland Trophy, awarded to college football’s top lineman. He was selected third overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 2007 NFL Draft.

Renowned for his grit and consistency, Thomas enjoyed an 11-year career in Cleveland, earning ten consecutive Pro Bowl selections and First-Team All-Pro honors half a dozen times. He was a first-ballot Hall of Fame inductee in 2023 and an NFL 2010s All-Decade Team member.

He was a beacon of durability playing 10,363 consecutive snaps, an NFL record, until a torn triceps in 2017 ended his career. Despite never making a playoff game with the Browns, his impact on the game of football goes beyond the wins and losses column, bolstered by his incredible leadership and strong work ethic.

After hanging up his cleats, he transitioned to media, serving as an NFL Network analyst. He remains a fixture in Cleveland and a shining example of excellence for his four children and loving wife.
