Summary

The final week of NFL Draft Interviews begins with star EDGE Defender out of Oklahoma, Isaiah Thomas. To get things moving, they discuss a strange twitter confusion between him and Piston's legend Isaiah Thomas during the airing of the hit series The Last Dance. Getting into football, the guys discuss Thomas' signature pass rush moves, the need for tendency breakers, and some not so traditional drills that tend to help with Pass Rush Maneuvering. Some really fun conversation about the Senior bowl occurs, and the fellas dive into who pushed Thomas the most on the offensive side of the ball and what Nik Bonitto did to help elevate Isaiah's game. Finishing things off they discuss the draft, some advice he's received from NFL players, what teams are interested in Thomas, and of course, the world famous Stay Hot Rapid Fire Questions. ⏰ Chapters ⏰ (00:00) INTRO: Isaiah Thomas (00:51) Isaiah Thomas Confusion (03:15) NBA MVP Vote  (05:35) Signature Pass Rushing Move  (06:27) Tendency Breakers  (08:35) Drills That Aid In Pass Rush  (09:38) Favorite Plays Of College Career  (11:05) Prepping For The Senior Bowl  (12:40) Toughest Opponent In Senior Bowl  (13:22) Change From 2019 To 2020 (15:53) Players That Pushed Isaiah From Oklahoma’s Offense  (17:25) Dynamic With Nik Bonitto  (19:45) Advice From NFL Players  (21:15) Fitting Into NFL Defenses  (22:16) Teams Interested In Isaiah  (23:54) RAPID FIRE  (26:50) OUTRO  🔥 STAY HOT OFFICIAL 🔥 ► Stay Hot Line 📞 (614) 349-8050 ► Email ✉ St ayHotPodcast@gmail.com ► iTunes 🔊 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... ► Spotify 🔊 https://open.spotify.com/show/2hT7l2z... ► YouTube 💻 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsb3X5NchEEcig9rNGa2J2g ► TikTok 🕺 https://www.tiktok.com/@stayhotpod?
