Thomas Perry Inspires With Grit, Gratitude and the Power of Positivity.

from SAX IN THE MORNING · host Steve Sax

I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.Growing up, my son was captivated by Thomas the Tank Engine, but today, I'm here to talk about a different kind of "Thomas the Tank." Meet Thomas Perry, a powerhouse from a small Division III school who is making waves as a top NFL offensive line prospect. Forget the stereotypes of today's youth; Thomas is redefining them with his grit, strength, and a mindset full of optimism and gratitude. One of the standout stories about Thomas is his unique request for a truck tire as a birthday gift at age 16—just so he could flip it for strength training. And trust me, this is just the beginning of what makes Thomas an extraordinary individual.Join us as we explore Thomas's remarkable journey from dominating high school football in Connecticut to becoming Middlebury College's first invitee to the Senior Bowl. Despite challenges like playing at a smaller school and losing his senior year to COVID, Thomas's relentless positivity has been his guiding star. His ability to uplift those around him, along with his impressive stats and near-perfect GPA in molecular biology and mathematics, have earned him the moniker "Thomas the Total Package." His story is a testament to how hard work and a positive outlook can shape not just your path, but also inspire those around you.Remember, Sax in the Morning swag is now available on my Instagram site.
