I understand that DT didn’t have the chance to finish what was proving to be a great career, but for it to take 9 years to retire his number is too long. Derrick Thomas was not only a great player but a great role model off the field as well. He is greatly missed.

I was around in the days of Dawson, Taylor, Lanier and all those great players. But my favorite player of all time is DT. I am very happy the NFL is going to recognize him as one of the best ever. I know the Chiefs were waiting on the HOF to retire his number. I think they, like me, thought it was going to be a couple years ago. I am very happy for his family.

It’s about time! I have been following the Chiefs since the early 80′s and D.T. was the best Chief I have seen. R.I.P. Derrick.
