"I ain't no superstar," the star said.
Humble and honest, hungry and homed in, Demaryius Thomas knows that superstars aren't Pro Bowl alternates, they're Pro Bowlers.
The Broncos receiver is a star, sure, after he hauled in 94 passes last season and finished fourth in the NFL with 1,434 receiving yards. And, this statistic pops off the page: He was second in the league with 18 receptions of 25 or more yards. But is he a superstar? Can you be a superstar if you're (arguably) the fifth-best player on your own team? Can you be a superstar if casual fans forget the Y in your first name? There's no doubting Thomas that he's trying to get the word "super" in his name, but he'll take "Super Bowl champ Demaryius Thomas" over "superstar."
