1966 Profile: Aaron Thomas

Tight End
No. 88
Oregon State
"Staying healthy seems to be Aaron Thomas' only problem. Injuries plague him perennially, causing him to miss games. As a tight end, he has few peers; he's rated in the Pete Retzlaff class, only faster, and he does a job on the tight safety. In the Giant passing scheme, he has a pivotal role because his exceptional speed also allows him to function as a deep receiver.
In 1965, his fifth NFL season, he made 27 catches for 631 yards and five touchdowns."

-Jack Zanger, Pro Football 1966
