Julius Thomas thinks emphasis on defensive fouls could pump up his numbers

Thomas

Last year, Julius Thomas set the Broncos’ single-season record for receiving touchdowns by a tight end, with 12. This year, he doesn’t have a specific goal to beat that.

Generally, however, he realizes that his numbers could be even better, thanks to the renewed emphasis on illegal contact and defensive holding.

Thomas addressed that and other topics during a recent visit with PFT Live. The first subject? Whether he thinks the NFL should outlaw Peyton Manning’s Rocky Top dance.

Thomas also identifies a guy on each side of the ball who could be due for a breakout year, like Thomas had a year ago.
