His death is just the latest in the long line of ALS-related ailments among former NFL players. We raised the connection between ALS and playing in the NFL when former special-teams ace Tim Shaw announced he was suffering from the disease back in August, and it certainly will remain a topic of concern now with the announcement of Thomas' death at such a young age.

May the Angels of His Mercy bring solace to all his family and friends.

Yes this is sad. A friend of mine passed from this same disease. I still pray often for his family.
