“I want to learn more about the game as a whole and about the finer poi...” — Joe Thomas Quote

“I want to learn more about the game as a whole and about the finer points of technique across the line of scrimmage. I want to learn more about coverages and blitzes so I can kind of see the game before it happens.”

“My family, friends and community members rarely spoke about race relations, or how people from different races have different experiences growing up in America. Race was a taboo topic.”

“I was always the 250 pound guy that I was when I was 18 years old coming out of high school.”

“I just need to know my technique and visualize it.”

“I'm always thinking 'technique, technique.'”

“Forget the technique. Hit the guy across from you. Don't let somebody come in your space.”
