On a far less serious note, he gave himself the nickname “NubbyT” and used the hashtag #mychallenge.

Thomas’ leg was amputated below the knee a year after he was injured in a car accident while intoxicated. The accident occurred in Austin, Texas, in March 2023, and he was pulled from his burning vehicle by Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn and three others at the scene.
