Extractions: Cunningham led the team in a moment of silence before beginning the first workouts of training camp. Brian Bahr/Allsport RIVER FALLS, Wis. (AP) The Kansas Ciy Chiefs were getting ready for their first training camp workout when Elvis Grbac experienced a strange, eerie feeling. We were loosening up, everybody was stretching out, and it was just complete silence, said Grbac. There wasn't one guy even saying a word. He knew at once what the problem was. Derrick Thomas no longer walked among them. At times like that, Derrick would always have something lively to say, something to break the tension. He would be joking with guys, giving guys a hard time. Just being Derrick, Grbac said. While taking notice of the strange silence, Grbac's gaze fell upon cornerback

Extractions: Advertisement A true hero. That is how Missouri Senator Bill Kenney described Derrick Thomas to the rest of the Missouri Legislature Tuesday as he broke the news of Thomas' death. Kenney, a former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, said, "He will be missed by football fans around the nation, but we will miss him in Kansas City for his attitude and his efforts he put forth in our community." The Missouri House and Senate each paused for a moment of silence in Derrick Thomas' honor. Thomas lost his life Tuesday after suffering a heart attack as a result of an auto accident two weeks ago. He seemed to be on his way toward recovering from the accident that killed his friend Michael Tellis, although he probably would have faced some sort of paralysis. Todays tragic events left many people in a state of shock and disbelief. Derrick Thomas began his career with the Chiefs in 1989 when he was drafted out of Alabama University. The Chiefs new they had something special when he recorded 10 sacks as a rookie and followed it up with 20 the next year. He had an instinctive ability to get to the quarterback and he could single-handedly disrupt an offense by destroying the quarterback's confidence.
Extractions: Associated Press MIAMI Derrick Thomas, one of the most feared defenders in the NFL and a nine-time Pro Bowl player, died Tuesday less than a month after being paralyzed in a car crash on an icy road. He was 33. Thomas was being transferred from his hospital bed to a wheelchair on his way to therapy when he uttered something to his mother and his eyes rolled back, said Dr. Frank Eismont, a neurosurgeon at Jackson Memorial Hospital. ``We were hoping that Derrick's story would have been a happier ending,'' he said. ``This is very much unexpected.'' The Kansas City Chiefs linebacker, who held the NFL record of seven sacks in a game, went into cardio-respiratory arrest, he said. Doctors have not determined an exact cause of death and might perform an autopsy. One of Thomas' doctors, Dr. Barth Green, said a massive blood clot probably killed Thomas.

Extractions: Derrick Thomas Academy On June 3, 2001, the Derrick Thomas Academy, a tuition-free public charter school, was launched in downtown Kansas City at 201 East Armour Plaza. The academy is the first-ever public elementary charter school named in honor of an NFL hero. Opening its doors in September 2002 to approximately 600 students, DTA will expand to include the sixth through eight grades over the next three years. "As much as anything Derrick did on the football field, it was his contribution off it that stamps his time here on Earth," observed Chiefs President Carl Peterson of Thomas. "He was committed to helping others. At the time of his death, I stated that something good would come of this because a good man left us. This good, perhaps, can be a school that holds his name and continues his commitment of service to his community."

SI's Michael Silver It's such a loss to the NFL community, because he just brought so much life and energy not only to his on-the-field performance, but the way he approached life as an NFL star. The most significant legacy he leaves behind is the way he tried to impact young people, by showing up at the public library and reading to kids and constantly giving time, money and energy to try to help kids have a better reality.
