METAIRIE, La. -- Hand yoga.
It’s the secret to Michael Thomas' success. Well, one of them, at least.
The New Orleans Saints' new rookie receiver could easily rely on so many of the advantages he has been blessed with -- massive size (6-foot-3, 212 pounds), great bloodlines (his uncle is Keyshawn Johnson) and a national-championship pedigree from Ohio State.
But Thomas has still found a way to go that extra one-eighth of an inch.
Thanks to hand yoga.
Thomas recently revealed to ESPN’s Sports Science that he was using the unique technique to help increase his strength and flexibility leading up to the NFL draft.
