2018 NFL Season: Crazy stats through the first three weeks
By Erik Lambert
Earl Thomas missed camp, keeps cutting practice short and leads NFL in INTs
He could very well be the master troll artist in the NFL. Earl Thomas held out for the entire Seattle Seahawks offseason, training camp and preseason. He made it clear he wants either a new contract or to be traded elsewhere. The Seahawks didn’t budge on either. He could’ve stayed away like Le’Veon Bell and just see if they found a replacement. Nope. He found a better option.
He came back to the team and now leads the NFL with three interceptions. Oh, but he hasn’t done it the humble way. He’s doing everything in his power to annoy the Seahawks the whole way including cutting his efforts short in practice and seeming to call out to teams during games to deal for him whenever he makes a big play. A bit petty? Maybe, but also savage.
