Thomas has been a source of frustration for Broncos fans all season. His dropped passes and occasionally lackluster play seem to come at the most inopportune time, but it could all be erased with a superstar performance Sunday. Thomas possesses the size and speed that have given the much smaller Norman trouble against other similarly gifted wide receivers this season.

A key for Thomas will be getting off to a strong start in Super Bowl 50, to get his confidence flowing. Norman overflows with confidence. He’s arguably been the best cornerback in the NFL this season, but the Panthers often give him help with their plethora of zone coverage.

Thomas is the Broncos’ all-time leader in 100-yard receiving games. One more would go a long way toward a super win for Denver.
