Joe Thomas never has been hesitant to voice his opinion on NFL issues.
The Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl left tackle has touched on a number of league topics, including Colin Kaepernick’s free-agent status and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s handling of Deflategate.
Now, Thomas has something to say about the league’s drug testing protocol. After Jabril Peppers reportedly tested positive for a diluted sample at this year’s NFL Scouting Combine, Thomas vocalized his frustration with the league’s stance on the matter.
No player should ever have a "failed test" for a dilute sample. Especially at the combine where players frequently chug water to gain weight

Or you're chugging water to hydrate for a day of grueling physical testing. Lack of hydration leads to a significant decrease in performance https://t.co/FpuUZ3Fpe7

He even took a shot at the commish.
Here's to people who love water 🍻. Just don't let @nflcommish know, I hear the NFL is anti water. https://t.co/mRsWE7zZWZ

We’ll have to report back to Thomas’ Twitter feed the next time a hot-button NFL issue arises.
