About this video

Just because it's the NFL off-season doesn't mean that the players can't keep themselves sharp, and Young Hollywood is all too happy to help in this endeavor! We head to beautiful Newport Beach where we catch up with brand new Las Vegas Raider Solomon Thomas for a little game of "Truth or Dare: Football Edition"! While it's true that Solomon is a defensive tackle, he's got some offensive skills as well, and we test his throwing abilities and accuracy while we in turn toss him some truths or dares! Find out his weird game day tradition, what other player he talks to the most, and his first ever job, plus we dare him to prank-text a teammate, do an impression of 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo, and more!

NFL Truth

I'm trying to think what people would think is weird. Um. Dang. Uh I don't know if this is weird, but I just really just like to sit in my locker for three minutes and just don't think about anything and just like just sit there and

Young Hollywood

Is it three minutes on the dot every time?

NFL Truth

It's around three minutes. Like I look at the clock, I give myself three minutes before I start my routine, just to take some breath and just let it go. Then we'll get into it. You got it. That was good. That was good.

Young Hollywood

Okay, dare. Text one of your teammates right now and tell them that you're never playing football again.

NFL Truth

All right, who are we going to text? We'll text D. J. Jones.

Young Hollywood
