#40 - Dontarrious Thomas

On today's episode, we had the pleasure of having Former Minnesota Viking 2nd Round Pick and Auburn Legend Dontarrious Thomas with us to discuss his football journey. The interview begins with how Covid-19 has effected his illustrious chicken wing spots, Voodoo Wings. Then we discuss what it was like growing up and playing sports in Perry, Georgia and how he wasn't even the best player on his own high school team, yet he was the one to make it to the league. How Dontarrious made it to Auburn, and forever would want to stick it to Georgia for not offering him a scholarship, and getting sweet revenge when they faced on the field. What it was like going up against the likes of Alabama and beating them 3 out of his 4 years at Auburn. Being on the front cover of ESPN magazine with his teammate Karlos Dansby. Among other topics, we discuss not getting a National Championship, First team All-SEC, College hall of fame, 10th career tackles at Auburn, and how 9 of the starters his final year in college went on to the pros. We then discuss his pro career with the Vikings, 49ers & Chargers. What it was like being drafted 48th overall in the 2nd round. Playing with the likes of Randy Moss, Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, Tekeo Spikes, Frank Gore, LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates, Philip Rivers, Shawne Merriman, etc. And that conversation he had with Randy Moss about how to be a pro that has stuck with him ever since. How Adrian Peterson is super human, and a hilarious LaDainian Tomlinson story. A must listen!
