Earl Thomas Biography

Earl Thomas is one of the great safeties in NFL history and dominated an era of football with the Seattle Seahawks "Legion of Boom" defense. Thomas spent nine years with the Seahawks and was a six-time Pro Bowler, capping his career in 2019 with one final Pro Bowl selection while playing for the Baltimore Ravens. 

Thomas earned three straight First-Team All-Pro nods from 2012-14. He was the heart and soul of two Seahawks Super Bowl teams, winning the first championship in franchise history at Super Bowl XLVIII. 

Before his time in the NFL, Thomas was a standout defensive back at the University of Texas for two seasons. As a redshirt freshman, Thomas earned multiple All-Freshman honors after starting all 13 games and recording 63 tackles with 17 pass breakups. His sophomore season would be even better, as Thomas would intercept eight passes en route to earning All American and All-Big 12 honors.

In 2010, Thomas chose to skip his final two seasons at Texas to enter the NFL Draft, where he was taken 14th overall by the Seattle Seahawks. During his rookie season, Thomas intercepted five passes and recorded 76 tackles as he emerged into one of the team’s top defensive players. Thomas became the starting safety in 2011, leading one of the top defenses in the NFL and earning his first of six Pro Bowl honors.
