Michael Thomas (born March 17, 1989) is an American football safety for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for Stanford. He was signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2012.[1]

In Thomas' first career NFL game he recorded an interception off New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady with two seconds left in the game to seal the Dolphins victory.[2][3] He also broke up a touchdown pass intended for Danny Amendola before sealing the victory with his interception.

The Dolphins designated Michael Thomas with the exclusive rights free agent tag for the second straight year. This was because he only played in 3 games his rookie season.[4]
