Johnson began coaching Zach Thomas, one of the greatest players in dolphin history. In 13 seasons, Thomas spent 12 seasons with the Dolphins and one season with the Cowboys. Before Johnson resigned after the 1999 season, the two did indeed spend four seasons together.

Thomas ended his career in 2008, but he has still not been inducted into the Hall of Fame. For some people, Thomas should have been in the Hall of Fame by the time he qualified for the competition in 2013. He still speaks on behalf of the Hall of Fame committee to make the right decision and Johnson knows Thomas is one such player.

Even Johnson pointed out that Thomas should be in the Hall of Fame, On the Saturday night of the 2020 Enshrinement ceremony. Johnson has coached 13 Hall of Fame players and he said he should have two more players. “I'm pretty sure I know what the Hall of Fame members look like, Then he joked, "So I have 15, this is the high rating of Thomas's former head coach, These two players are a key factor in defense on both sides," said Johnson”.

According to Pro-Football-Reference data, Thomas recorded a total of 1,734 steals in 184 games, 74 failed steals, 20.5 sacks, 17 interceptions, 49 pass defenses, and 16 forced turnovers. In fact, Thomas' 1,734 tackles in his career rank 5th in NFL history. Just after London Fletcher, Junior Seau, Jessie Tuggle, and Ray Lewis. As if these numbers aren't enough to explain Thomas, let's compare him to former Bears Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher.

Urlacher played 13 seasons like Thomas, and he played two games less. Urlacher became a member of the Hall of Fame when he was selected in 2018. According to Pro-Football-Reference, Urlacher has 373 tackles and 5 force turnovers less than Thomas. Urlacher has Thomas in some ways, including tackles, layoffs, interceptions, and defensive passes. In any case, the stats of the two linebackers are very similar, and only one of them is currently a member of the Hall of Fame.

Since qualifying in 2013, Thomas has been waiting for his call to Canton. The champion in Miami Dolphins history must enter the Hall of Fame as soon as possible. His stats are the same as other Hall of Famers, and even his former coach is calling on him to join. That is a positive sign that his time is coming, Thomas has been a finalist for the past two years.
