For a 7th Rd draft pick he has had a decent career. He was one of the first players Payton wanted in '06. Loomis nabbed him for a 7th Rd pick. He might be the player with the most starts in team history (94 ) that fans wanted to see gone the most (Fred Thomas 75 starts?).

I think the whole fred thomas hate thing is a little overblown. The guy wasn't bad in his prime but those last two years were well into the twilight of his career and he probably did about as well as you could hope for all things considered.

The dude started playing in 1996, so he was on his tenth and eleventh season when he became the fodder of everyone.

ETA: and thats a cornerback we are talking about. He had to be doing something right to play 11 seasons

ETA2: I guess I'm confused bc espn says 12 yrs experience.

ETA3: Holy shite, I didnt even realize he had 5 ints, 2FF, 1 sack in 2002 and then 4 ints, 1 FF, 1 sack in 2003.

Thats a pretty impressive two year stretch
