Derrick Thomas Left Out of Hall of Fame Again
Feb. 3, 2007

The third time was not the charm for the late Chiefs linebacker Derrick Thomas.

Thomas, the cornerstone of the Chiefs’ revival in the 1990s, missed out again on election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame today in his third year of eligibility.

Thomas was one of 17 finalists but did not make the final cut. Six players were selected, including Roger Wehrli, a King City, Mo., native who starred at defensive back for the University of Missouri and St. Louis Cardinals.

The other players elected were Bills running back Thurman Thomas, Lions tight end Charlie Sanders, Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin, Oilers offensive lineman Bruce Matthews and Browns guard Gene Hickerson. All six will be inducted during the Pro Football Hall of Fame weekend Aug. 4-5 in Canton, Ohio.

It would have been fitting for Thomas to be elected during the Super Bowl weekend in Miami, the city where he was born, raised, died and is buried. Thomas died at age 33 on Feb. 8, 2000, as a result of injuries suffered in an automobile accident.
