Comes to work, does what he needs to do, makes amazing catches, doesn't want any attention and just brings it every game.

He's a lunch box kinda player.

Keep it up young man!

Thomas is more of an outside receiver while Colston thrived in the slot. Both are great receivers

Different players, different receiver types.
Colston over the middle would embarass anybody.

His hands should be paid advertisement for allstate

I would throw a cute puppy out of a 60 story window to him.

I understand what you are saying, but he is much better than Colston.

Colston broke his collarbone toward the end of the season once and stayed in the game an extra play so we wouldn't have to use a TO. I'll never forget that ever. One of my favorite Saints.

Definitely more athletic in terms of shiftiness but colston had elite size and route running ability too. Different players

I'm going to say this without hyperbole:

I have never seen a WR of MT's size with the ability to plant the foot that he does. It is unreal.

Colston is one of my favorites but Thomas is/will be a better receiver.

Colston had a niche going over the middle , and was an excellent red zone threat. He also seemed to be basically connected to Brees telepathically. Those 2 guys were impossible to defend when they were in sync, Brees always knew exactly where to throw it even if Colsten was covered.

Brees isn’t quite as good as he was in those days, he’s the same QB but his arm strength is getting noticeably worse, Thomas is an absolute freak show so that helps Brees out.
