Tragedy Took the Life of Kansas City's Derrick Thomas, One of the NFL's GREATEST Defensive Players!

In this week's episode of Legends, Steven Jackson highlights one of the most remarkable defensive players in NFL history, Derrick Thomas. The son of a war hero, Derrick persevered through a troubled childhood to find football, which he credited with saving his life. From Miami high school star to Alabama Crimson Tide standout, Derrick was the top defensive player taken in the loaded 1989 NFL Draft. He more than lived up to the billing over a 10-year career with the Kansas City Chiefs before his career, and his life, was so tragically cut short. We look back together on the great Derrick Thomas and wonder what could have been.
