The cat has been out of the bag for days now: Joe Thomas is heading to the Pro Football Hall of Fame after 11 seasons with the Cleveland Browns. He got the famous knock, as former Seattle Seahawk stalwart Walter Jones relayed the good news to Thomas in his family. And now as time has passed over the past few days, Thomas has been able to sit back and give some reflection on the moment.
His kids tell him who is at the door, yelling “You made it dad, you made it!” What a special moment for Thomas and his family to treasure forever.
