This preseason the Cleveland Browns will have an extra game due in no small part to one of the best left tackles in NFL history. What else can you say about former Brown Joe Thomas that hasn’t been said a million times before? Thomas embraced Cleveland from the second he was drafted and the city was happy to have him as a kind of figurehead.
Now it’s his head that will forever be remembered and on display in the Pro Football Hall of Fame starting later this year. Look at these photos of the legend as he has his measurements taken for his bronze bust.
Joe's path to football immortality is well on its way after he sat for artist Ben Hammond to get the measurements taken for his bronze bust!
