35 athletes who can help you survive a zombie apocalypse

15. Joe Thomas

The Cleveland Browns might be the worst team in the NFL as of lately, but don’t let that fool you. There are some bright spots on the team who are being held down by others. Someone who comes to mind right away is Joe Thomas, the third overall draft pick from 2007. The offensive tackle has since been selected for every Pro Bowl since joining the league. He is the only offensive lineman to enter the Pro Bowl in his first eight seasons, since having taken part for 10 years in a row.

Something which helps Thomas on the field is his sheer size. He stands at 6 feet and 6 inches tall, weighing in at 312 pounds. Getting past this guy isn’t easy, in other words, making him a perfect ally. So it makes total sense that when forming a group of survivors, Thomas would be very valuable. It might be smart to have him constantly leading the way, so you can hid behind him when confrontation comes your way.

In the NFL, the abilities of Thomas are usually overlooked, perhaps because he’s on a not-so-good team. But the truth is that he’s an excellent player, especially with his size. If you’re in northern Ohio when the outbreak hits, maybe try seeing if you can track Thomas down.
