Drake Thomas, what a game, man. Talk to us about that play where you threw their left tackle,

you yeeded him like halfway across the field. Just called a blitz pressure. I'm a big gap

blitzer in that pressure. I noticed the play action pass and I just converted. It was really just

reaction and made a move and was able to get to the quarterback. It's kind of fun to know that,

you know, it picks up your teammates. They love watching you do that as well. Yeah, it's super cool.

If anything I can do to bring energy to my teammates and get people going, you know, I'm all for it.

So I don't know if you know Chris Long is a former defensive player and he people going, you know, I'm all for it. So I don't know if you know Chris Long is a former defensive player.

And he was saying, you know, this guy's clearly never missed a leg day.

Has that always been with you or is that something you worked on?

I've always had strong legs.

Yeah.

I mean, for sure.

I would say it's, you know, partially genetics, partially hard work,

and a lot of gifts from God.

Some people are like, hey, well, Drake Thomas isn't the biggest linebacker out there.

Do you think about that?

Have you had to compensate for your size,

or does it never even occur to you to worry

about what your size is versus who you're playing? I'm not, yeah, I'm not too concerned with,

you know, size difference or what I lack or what people say I lack. So I never really viewed it

like that. I've always viewed myself as more than capable, despite whatever people might say about my size.

Every time I come in this locker room, I see you with the pad on your lap, you're looking at film.
