And Colston never made the pro bowl, why? Hopefully Thomas can play as many years as Colston and have as good or better production.

Colston ran mainly TE style routes. As others have stated he was a quasi TE. The numbers are close but MT is a more versatile athlete and probably the best WR Brees will ever have.

Thomas and Colston both pure class

Colston never got his due

Gotta admit it, I'm shocked. I knew Thomas was doing great, but putting it up side by side like that....WOW!

Colston was a quiet giant on the field, in the locker room & off the field.

Thomas seems to have little more "swagger" then Colston, but i would take either of them!
