For Solomon Thomas, it was going back to where football was fun again and not a job.
There are a lot of things that the San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle had to deal with; criticism, his substandard play, and his sister’s suicide. That incident happened in early 2018 and defined his year, triggering everything else.
Now it’s 2019. Along with the typical offseason tradition of game tape, working out, and the long tradition of getting bigger, better, faster, stronger, Thomas has one more thing he’s doing: a mental reset.
“For me, it was just resetting,” Thomas said during a press conference after 49ers OTAs Tuesday.
