Demaryius Thomas elected to Broncos Ring of Fame
The team announced on Tuesday that Thomas has been elected to the team's Ring of Fame. The wide receiver will be the 38th inductee when he enters the group during halftime of a Week Seven game against the Giants.
Thomas spent over eight seasons with the Broncos after joining the team as a 2010 first-round pick. Thomas was a member of the Super Bowl 50 champions while in Denver and some of his teammates will be on hand for the 10th anniversary celebration of that win.
'Demaryius Thomas' election to the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame — in his first year of eligibility — is a testament to the indelible mark he left on our organization and community,' team owners Greg Penner and Carrie Walton Penner said in a statement. 'One of the most beloved players and greatest wide receivers in franchise history, Demaryius inspired our fans with breathtaking athleticism, record-setting performances and a joyful, infectious spirit. While we wish 'D.T.' was with us to celebrate this special moment, we look forward to honoring Demaryius alongside his Super Bowl 50 teammates during an unforgettable Alumni Weekend.'
Thomas holds the Broncos' single-season receiving yard record and is second in career receiving yards in franchise history. He died in 2021 at the age of 33.

Mets vs. Giants prediction: MLB player props, picks, odds for Friday
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. The Mets head to the City by the Bay for a three-game set against the Giants this weekend. They'll send Clay Holmes to the mound on Friday night as he looks to rebound from a tough stretch of late. The right-hander has a 5.66 ERA in July and has been getting hit around, allowing 21 hits in just 20 ⅔ innings. After not allowing a single long ball through his first seven starts, Holmes has been unusually homer-prone, giving up 11 dingers in 72 innings over his last 13 outings. Meanwhile, the Giants' big addition, Rafael Devers, is beginning to figure it out. The former Red Sox slugger had his first two-homer game for San Francisco on Wednesday in Atlanta. Devers played first base for the first time in his MLB career on Tuesday and admitted after the game that he's much more comfortable in the field than as a designated hitter. San Francisco Giants designated hitter Rafael Devers (16) hits a three run home run against the Atlanta Braves during the sixth inning at Truist Park. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect 'It keeps me active and it keeps my head out of just thinking of the next at-bat,' Devers said. 'I'm the kind of player who likes to be active and likes to be on the field. I'd rather be on the field than be in the cage hitting all the time.' Devers sees the ball well against Holmes, going 2-for-7 with a home run and a single in nine career plate appearances against him. Learn all you need to know about MLB Betting With Devers in a better mindset and Holmes headed in the wrong direction, I like the Giants' star to keep heating up on Friday night. Bet Devers to hit the Over on his total bases prop, but I like his chances to go yard if you're looking for a little more juice. The plays: Rafael Devers over 1.5 total bases (+140, bet365) and to hit a home run (+500, FanDuel) Why Trust New York Post Betting Dylan Svoboda is a versatile writer and analyst across many sports.
