I’ll never forget when he gave me his TD catch in Philadelphia. It’s was his first TD in 12 or 13 games and me and my girl made a sign for him. At halftime, we were able to get his attention coming out of the tunnel. He read our sign then pounded his chest a few time letting us know, “he got us.” So we were sitting on the 1 yard line and they lined up in a screen formation. I told my girl that they were about to throw him a screen and he was going to score (I seen that formation too many times lol). And sure enough, I was right. After he scored, he dapped up all his teammates then we could see that he searching for something. I was like, “he’s looking for us,” so we yelled, “DT, DT,” then he turned his head, seen us, put his head down and jogged all the way over to where we were, then he tossed us the ball and my girl made this beautiful one handed catch lol. Seriously it was amazing (although her hands were like that). But either way, what an awesome experience. He was true to his word. Btw, if the guy who recorded that video next to us sees this and still has the video, hit me up PLEASE.
And lastly, a true testament of his character, I was in Washington when the broncos came to town on Christmas Eve that same year. It was a horrible game, we got whooped, but at the end of the game, DT was running towards the locker room and I yelled, “DT, DT,” and I kid you not, he looked over, seen me and ran all the way back from being almost in the tunnel to where i was sitting. Then he dapped me up and we talked for like a min (mainly me) and I asked him, let me get your jersey. I’m not sure if he heard me or fulling understood what I meant, but he shook his head yes like he was going to give it me, then he took my sign and signed it lol… but regardless, the point was that he turned all the way around just to come say hi as if he remembered me; and maybe he did….. well DT, I’m still waiting on that jersey soooooo ima just have to get it from you when I see you in Heaven!!!
What a beautiful story, thank you so much for sharing!😢
That’s so awesome
to give you some closure, it costs player several hundred of dollars every time they share a jersey or give one away. it depends on the amount of violations, but its around 500-1,000$ every tine. so he probably wanted to, but realized it would be silly to take a fine, so he just signed the sign and went on.
Rest in Paradise DT❣️❣️❣️ You will never be forgotten in the hearts of Broncos fans everywhere, you are truly missed. #88 forever 🙏🏾
The Demarius Thomas/Emmanuel Sanders duo was unstoppable 💥
Not just Broncos fans, but NFL fans everywhere
He was the main reason I was watching Bronco games back then. R.I.P DT
The reason I became a broncos fan and still am is because of DT Fly high RIP 🪦 🕊️
Beautiful tribute for #88 Demaryius Thomas. Can't believe Thomas is gone a year ago on December 9, 2021. His smile will be missed by many broncos country and his former teammates. RIP #88 DT 💙🧡. Go Broncos 💙🧡
I love that guy
Not gonna lie, I’ve cried multiple times watching this. Such a loss for all of humanity. So many memories for all the fans, his work with the kids, the good that will be missed in a world without him in it.
I’ve been a broncos fan my whole life. I will never forget being 11 years old and sitting in the living room watching that overtime play just jumping up and down with my family being so happy. RIP DT I’ll always keep my jersey that is wayyyy to small now.
My girlfriend just got $88 dollars worth of tips today on her first day of work. Thats just a sample size of the 88s showing up in my life lately. Demaryius was my childhood hero and i will forever see him as my idol. We love you DT. 💙🔥
Can't believe it's been a year. Rest in Peace DT, forever a Bronco 🧡💙
Maybe my favorite Bronco of all time. Rest in peace Demaryius, you were a wonderful soul who brought so much happiness into my life watching you play.
Love you, DT💙
I'll never forget that pass from Tebow in overtime. Shocked the world. Rest easy DT! THANKYOU!
What a great documentary. I really loved seeing pics of DT coming up from a sweet young kid to an amazing man, on and off the field. Seeing my fave players, besides DT was cool too: Champ Bailey, Derek Wolfe, Von Miller, Emanuel Sanders, Eric Decker, etc so many great players was a nice trip down memory lane. Thanks Broncos for airing this. I really enjoyed it. Rest well DT 💙🧡
He’s hall of fame in my book ❤
For real. HOF quality if I ever seen it.
RIP DT❤️🕊️
Lots of tears fell tonight, Rest In Peace buddy. You’ll forever be missed by Broncos Country.
RIP legend! Forever and ever DT you are my idol 🤞❤️
Thanks for putting this together guys. I can only watch in short bursts to keep from crying too much. Rest in power D.T. 🧡💙
I’m not a Denver Broncos fan, but I absolutely loved watching DT play. He was a different breed of wide receiver. Rest In Peace DT. #88 Forever.
DT was such a beautiful person inside and out. I’ll never forget that tribute game to him cuz it was just that special especially for someone like him. He will always be remembered and loved by Broncos Country! Love you DT! Thank you for the memories!
I knew this was going to make me cry. Words can't describe this man. His soul is pure gold. All of us Broncos fans will forever remember him. He and PFM changed our lives. We had so many happy memories because of this person. That's special. Need to invest in tissues smh!!
We all know he will be in the ROF in the stadium. I want to see him in the HOF. I know it may be a long shot, but he is the type of person who needs to be remembered for all time
DT's smile will live forever in Broncos history. This was very good.
RIP 88 😢 We miss you fr
Still got my old dt jersey long live 88❤️
What a beautiful tribute to a spectacular player and human being. RIP DT.
I was always a broncos fan because of my family but I was never really invested in football. I was in eighth grade when Tebow mania was happening and DT quickly became my favorite player. He got me obsessed with football. I’ll never forget him.
RIP DT #88❤
My favorite player from my childhood. Rest in peace DT🙏
He is the only BRONCO jersey I have.
RIP DT #88 🐎 ☁️
Kindness is a weakness to the indecent but virtuous to the decent. D.T is among our most decent. We will always love Demaryius Thomas. Heaven is better place having you there. Bravo sir.
As small as it is, every time there were posts on Instagram asking who is your favorite player I’d always tag DT and he always liked those comments and getting the notifications made me the happiest. he will always be my favorite player. Rest in Paradise DT. 🕊️
So beautiful. I cried my eyes out
What an amazing tribute to this mans life. Love all around DT.
Early in his career, I saw him in a club in Vegas. Waited for an opportunity to approach him trying to not say something stupid. He had a big walking boot on because it was right after the first season, and he had injured his foot again. All he wanted to do was ensure me as a bronco fan that he was going to come back strong and put all the work in that he needed to come back better than before. I was just some fan that walked up to him but he acted like he worked for me! He just kept promising he would come back better and not let the fans down and then proceeded to keep talking to me just like it was two guys talking he had no ego whatsoever! He was the spectacular player, but a better human being.
I miss you bro 😢😢
Miss him so much 😔
DT ❤️❤️❤️
RIP 88
When I was 13 I met him In 2012 he was such a humble person a very nice man and he cared for people man when he died the entire broncos country probably shedded some tears
I still think about him and can't hold back tears this guy is by far the best bronco on and off the field
RIP DT will always remember watching u when I was a kid 🕊️
Receivers usually haven’t been my favorite players, but I loved this guy from day one. I lived in Colorado when he was drafted and I got to follow most of his career while I lived there. Got to see him only feet away at summer camp. Dude was huge. Living in Colorado you feel like I knew these players more than anywhere else I have lived. You had to love everything about this guy. Therefore it was a huge disappointment when he was traded but I really hoped for his success. His loss was heartbreaking. Thanks for the memories DT, I loved watching you play.
Demaryus Thomas sé te extraña mucho hermano descansa en paz siempre estarás en nuestros corazones 🙏🙏🙏🙏 R.I.P. †
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too forever
Truly a beautiful tribute to such an amazing talented and caring person , DT will always be remembered for that smile that could brighten a room , 88 will go down as a Broncos legend forever loved this my eyes couldn’t stop tearing up
Best thing Broncos have produced all year
I literally said that when I first turned this on
He blessed me enough to allow me to give him some sports massages fresh out of school. I am so sad because I only asked him to sign something for my cousins husband. I never asked for myself and now I regret it because I would have something. He was always kind, sweet, respectful. When I called to ask him if he would sign it he was at a team dinner and answered the phone. I laughed because, "Sir, you are one of the biggest names in football at this time". How you gonna just answer all nonchalant. 🙌 It was unbelievable and still is heartbreaking.
RIP and fly high DT. You were a giant among men, whether it was on the field athletically or off it with your personality. Thanks for the memories. You were a GOAT for sure.
Retire 88!
this video brought tears to my eyes. You r missed by everyone not just broncos fans. But coming from a broncos fan there will never be a heart or player like yours.🧡💙🤍🕊️🕊️
Loved this doc, our son died in 2011 from a seizure disorder. He and DT were similar in so many ways. My son did service work (Americorps) with kids in Baton Rouge after hurricane Katrina, he taught reading and worked on refurbishment projects and he loved his time spent there. He played football as well and had the same smile and love for life as DT. They were both born in 1987 as well. I put off watching this because I knew it would tear me up but I'm so glad that I did. It's important for anyone going thru this type of medical condition to be monitored closely by family and friends, it's one of those things that you learn after the fact. It's tough to do because they pull away from family and friends. If only we had known what we learned in the worst possible way. Sad for DT and his family and friends, it's the hardest thing they will ever have to deal with. He was a champion at life and he hadn't even figured that out yet, same can be said for our son Bryon.
The brightest stars burn the fastest. RIP #88
RIP legend you were my favorite broncos players and i have 2 of your jerseys i really wish you were still here with us 😢💔
Man rip DT 😔 always gunna be one of my favorite broncos I grew up watching you for years and got to see you get a ring ❤️
Never paid much attention to DT, but I do love football, and knew his name well.
After watching this...
So much love and respect for this guy.
He will be missed. What a great guy, with a humble and love for life.
RIP DT you are so loved.
He was one of the most underrated Wrs of the 2010s
😢😢😢
Thank you DT. Thank you 88. My love for football grew right along side with your career. It hurt so much hearing the news on that TNF a year ago. It hurts so much watching this but it was so beautiful. I was on that 509 game, a poster with your picture was given to everyone that day at the stadium, I still have it on my wall, it's even more of a treasure now.
Now you're everywhere, all around us, and you'll always be at Mile High watching over Broncos County.
dt ment the world to me I was there when he made that overtime record Fly High #88
Rip Demaryius thomas , Forever alive because he a legend 🕊️🙏🏼, also him and emmanul sanders are one of the best Wr duos ive seen
RIP GOAT
R.I.P
RIP man I miss you fav. Player all time
D.T. FOREVER!
8️⃣8️⃣ will live in the hearts of Broncos Country forever!! 💙🧡
Rest in Peace DT! What a great human being and player he was!
Great job with this documentary Broncos! You honored DT with one of your best efforts ever! ⭐️🏈
RIP DT
I was a bronco fan for 2 reasons #88 and #18 💪🏾 he was truly special
Still can’t believe he’s gone. I still remember getting his jersey in 2012. Easily my favorite Bronco. Denver needs to retire 88.
Beautiful, RIP DT
Him and tod two of the most humble human being to play for the broncos ever. Top 3 fav for me between him rod Smith and sharpe
He was a year behind me at Tech. Ran into him on the bus all the time. Very quiet and polite.
Man this has me in tears for real. There will never be a receiver of DT's size that can do some of the things he did. I love seeing him run the wide receiver screen and just take it 80-90+ yards at his size and speed. It was an honor and a pleasure to have met him...even to take pics at his locker. R.I.P DT❤️💪🏾
💙🧡 Miss you DT! Retire #88, no one can replace him.
I miss him so much! Loved watching him play
Thanks for the memories. See you at heaven.
That was a awesome tribute to a awesome man. I will never forget his contribution to this world. RIP D.T.
RIP KING. You were one of the best. He made Brandon Marshall a forgetable memorie when he came to denver and honestly is the only reason we made the playoffs with Tebow. He was so evasive. HOF in my opinion. If you have Calvin Johnson with no rings than you can Have DT who did as much with less time. You wont ever be forgotten. I will always remember you as well as all of Broncos Country. Real HOF candidate honestly. His career was impresive. He deserves a ring. Your making a grown man cry . DT HOF soon. Don't worry DT we will get it done. You really were the extra piece. Without him you don't have Tim Tebow; or Manning. He didnt want any recognition; well lets recognize him soon.
❤ DT will always be a role model and idol to so many. Love forever 💚
Rip DT. always gonna love you and miss you ❤️
I miss DT so much 😭💙🧡
Such a humble dude❤ so sad way to soon. Bronco forever!!
This brought tears to my eyes! Bay Bay was an incredible player and an even better man! He will always be missed! May he continue to Rest In Peace. I am sending my continued prayers to his entire family. God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻💙🧡🤍💛
im not really into football these days but i remember meeting demaryius thomas when he had a football camp for youth kids that was probably 10 years ago rest in peace king
“WHAT WE DO FOR OURSELVES ALONE DIES WITH US, WHAT WE DO FOR OTHERS AND THE WORLD REMAINS, AND IS IMMORTAL.” ❤🕊️
This man meant so much to me. I grew up a Bronco fan and he was who I looked up to when Rod retired. I cried when I found out.
I cried during the whole documentary. My favorite offensive Bronco and one of my favorite players of all time in Broncos history. May you rest in peace DT! All of broncos country will forever love you! Thank you for some of the best memories of my life! #88
