Blindsided

Julius Thomas


Listen Later

On this episode of Blindsided, we welcome Julius Thomas. Julius is a former tight end for the Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins. Before the NFL, Julius was a basketball star at Portland State. But he believed he could play pro football. So he went for it. Most surprising, though, is what Julius is doing now. He retired from football in 2018 to study psychology and is currently going for his doctorate. So this conversation definitely gets clinical. Between Diane and Julius, we learn a lot. JT talks about growing up in Stockton, California … the differences in how we treat physical and mental injuries … and the anxiety that comes with fame. We’ve also decided that Julius has one of the best mindfulness voices of all time. Here’s Julius Thomas on Blindsided.
