Michael Thomas played three seasons for the Miami Dolphins before the other Michael Thomas came into the NFL as a second-round pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2016. But with the Saints receiver quickly emerging as a star, it seems like many are forgetting about the other Michael Thomas.
Dolphins S Michael Thomas is sick of getting confused with Saints WR Michael Thomas
Dolphins safety Michael Thomas got some of Saints receiver Michael Thomas’ mail.

Welp, swing and a miss on that one. And judging by his reaction in the video and a tweet from the Saints receiver, this isn’t the first time the two players have been mixed up:
Ok, let’s try to get this sorted out to avoid future mix-ups:
Michael Thomas vs. Michael Thomas
Player | Michael Thomas | Michael Thomas |
|---|---|---|
| Team | Miami Dolphins | New Orleans Saints |
| Position | Safety | Wide receiver |
| School | Stanford | Ohio State |
| Height | 5'11 | 6'3 |
| Weight | 196 pounds | 212 pounds |
| @Michael31Thomas | @Cantguardmike | |
| Plays on | DEFENSE | OFFENSE |
Oh, and don’t forget about Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Mike Thomas, a sixth-round pick in 2016 who has four career receptions. Or former Jacksonville Jaguars and Detroit Lions wide receiver Mike Thomas, who is best known for catching a Hail Mary from David Garrard.
At least it’s not as confusing as trying to sort out the seven Mike Williamses who have played in the NFL. There are just a few Mike Thomases for us to sort out; we can do it.
