Ep #9 of the NFL Players: Second Acts podcast. On the show, co-hosts former All-Pro Charles “Peanut” Tillman and Super Bowl champion Roman Harper talk with NFL legends about how they’ve found success in their post-NFL careers. Today, they’re joined by 12-year NFL veteran running back and current Hollywood actor Thomas Q. jones.
Thomas Jones was a bruising Pro Bowl RB who punished defenders on his way to 10,591 career rushing yards in his 12-year career. It was a career worthy of Hall of Fame consideration in 2022. Yet, when he left the game Thomas spent the first 10 months of his retirement drinking beer…all day, every day…starting with a Corona…at 6am! He joined Roman and Peanut to talk about the dark days of that struggle and how showbusiness saved his life. The man who chose acting over alcoholism also talks of how he channeled his football competitiveness into a thriving Hollywood career as Thomas Q. Jones the actor, producer, showrunner, and entrepreneur.
