In the infobox, you have him going from 1987 to 1989 for the Packers, but he never played in 89 and the sources only having him going til 1988.
- Here's my thoughts: when someone signs with a team in, say, 1989 and is released in training camp, their infobox entry states "[Team] (1989)" - and Thomas was on the team in 1987, 1988 and was released in training camp in 1989 - so I don't see why it should say (1987–1988) instead of (1987–1989) when if he had only been on the team for the brief time he was in 1989 it would have said (1989).
  - I guess I am looking at the source, which I assume is PFR. PFR doesn't have him on the team in 1989. That said, its a fairly minor point, so I will leave it up to you. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:02, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
NFL needs to be spelled out during the first use in the lead.
- Done.
You need to add a comma after 1963 in the Early life section.
- Done.
That season, he played 11 games and was one of the team's top backs, running for 264 yards and averaging 4.6 yards-per-carry with three rushing touchdowns although being limited due to injury., run-on sentence, maybe split up into 2.
- Done.
NFLPA should be spelled out during its first use.
- Done.
Ref spot check: #4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 20, 23
