Joe Thomas: Playing 10,363 straight NFL snaps, Almost Leaving the Browns, Becoming a Beef Farmer
Description
In this new NFL Players: Second Acts pod episode, Browns Hall of Famer Joe Thomas joins Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper for a conversation packed with grit, humor, and insight from one of the most durable players in NFL history. Thomas breaks down what it was like to block for 23 different quarterbacks, play 10,000+ consecutive snaps, and allow only 30 sacks across his legendary career.
He reflects on his joy for playing in Cleveland despite losing seasons, his intense gameday routine, and the toughest defenders he ever faced. Joe also shares what life after football looks like — from his health and mindset after retirement to his newest passion as a beef farmer.
Whether you’re a Browns fan or just love great football stories, this episode is a masterclass in consistency, leadership, and resilience.
