Thurman Lee Thomas was born May 16, 1966.

Thomas spent all but one of his 13 years in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills, leading them and the no-huddle offense to four consecutive Super Bowl appearances.

He ran for 12,074 yards in his career, which ranks 14th all time. He's one of just six running backs to catch 400 passes and rush for 10,000 yards. However, he could not win the elusive championship.

He was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007.
