Chiefs rookie gives expert physics lesson during offseason workouts
Chiefs rookie R Mason Thomas gave an expert physics lesson during a press conference at Kansas City's offseason workouts this week.
Football is said to be a game of inches and leverage, but Kansas City Chiefs pass-rusher R Mason Thomas may be inclined to argue that the sport is more a matter of physics. During a press conference at Kansas City's rookie camp this week, Thomas broke down the aspects of his game he will work on during the Chiefs' offseason program. In his analysis, Thomas invoked a simple principle of physics that perfectly explained his approach to preparing for life as an NFL blitzer.
"Mass times acceleration equals force," Thomas explained. "All I need to do is generate more speed. " .
