Derrick Thomas didn't play the run or the pass.
He was surrounded by talented players and focal point of the defenses in Kansas City.
He has 601 career tackles.
He has 1 I repeat 1 career interception.
He only led the NFL in sacks once. (1990)
In the biggest game of his career (a drubbing by the Bills) he was on the bench.
He never took his team to the next level. (3 career playoff victories)
1.) Bruce Smith 200.0
2.) Reggie White+ 198.0
3.) Kevin Greene 160.0
4.) Chris Doleman 150.5
5.) Michael Strahan 141.5
6.) John Randle 137.5
6.) Richard Dent 137.5
8.) Leslie O'Neal 132.5
8.) Lawrence Taylor+ 132.5
10.) Rickey Jackson 128.0
11.) Derrick Thomas 126.5
12.) Simeon Rice 122.0
13.) Clyde Simmons 121.5
14.) Jason Taylor (34) 120.5
15.) Sean Jones 113.0
16.) Greg Townsend 109.5 1983-1997
17.) Pat Swilling 107.5
18.) Trace Armstrong 106.0
19.) Neil Smith 104.5
19.)Kevin Carter (35) 104.5
I guess since all DT did was sack the QB all these players belong in the HOF.
