NFL Truth or Dare with Solomon Thomas

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!

Is a weird game day tradition that you have.
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
Is it three minutes on the dot every time?
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.
Okay, dare. Text one of your teammates right now and tell them that you're never playing football again.
All right, who are we going to text? We'll text D. J. Jones.
What do you think his reply will be?
He's not going to believe me or take me seriously. All right, and then just leave it? Yep. Said, "I'm never playing football again..." Dot dot dot. The dot dot dot really sells it. That's that sells it. It's the dot dot dot. I love the little peewee ball. It helps out my arm look a little better, but you know, I don't know how much it's doing. Going for this one. Okay. Almost. Yes, you got it.

15 squats? All right, we'll get it. T. J. just had a squat, show us, show us how it's done. Oh, yeah.
How much do you usually squat? Is that a Like, do you Like, do even that kind of thing?
Um, I'm trying to think uh we don't really max out past past college, but in college, I was like squatting 550 around there. No, my teammates do like 700 pounds. I'm I'm a little weak. I don't know. Was that 15? We can call we can call it 15. All right. Let's see. Like, the warm-up? Nope. Knock out Feel that. Go, get it, get it, get it. Okay, no quarterback. But it's fine. No quarterback.

At a water bottle? Oh. Ah, it might be better. It might I say, it might be a little bit better than what we've been dealing with. Nope. We're going to count it as you knocked it over, cuz you tipped it. They didn't play quarterback in in rec-fest, so don't blame me. Blame the the bullies who fat kids played O-line. That's true.
