Since retiring in 2017, former Browns left tackle Joe Thomas has made constant rounds on the media circuit. Following his hit podcast with Andrew Hawkins, Joe Thomas will be signing on with NFL Network.
For as great as Joe Thomas was on the field for the Cleveland Browns, the NFL’s former iron man may end up being even better off of it when all is said and done.
Thomas has been in the public eye constantly since retiring, making his name known in the world of sports media.
Now, he’ll be joining NFL Network as an analyst for Thursday Night Football, and marquee NFL events such as the NFL Draft and even the Super Bowl.
10-time Pro Bowler @joethomas73 will join @nflnetwork's on-location pregame & postgame shows for all 13 Thursday Night Football games this season, as well as coverage of Super Bowl LIV, Combine & Draft

Thomas was one of, if not the single best Cleveland Browns player since the team came back to the NFL in 1999. His incredible streak of 10,363 career snaps is unlikely to be broken any time soon, and he is near certain to walk into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. Now, he’ll have the chance to tell his stories to the NFL world, outside of the confines of the ThomaHawk podcast with Andrew Hawkins.
Thomas will have the opportunity to visit FirstEnergy Stadium as an analyst with the NFL Network, as Thursday Night Football travels to Cleveland in week eleven.
Thomas was already present for the debut of Baker Mayfield in week three of last year, a Thursday night game against the New York Jets. Perhaps the former All-Pro’s attendance as an analyst can bring the Browns good fortune again on November 14, as they take on divisional arch rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
