In 2019, Thuney was one of just two offensive guards in football to play at least 80 percent of their team's snaps and not draw a single flag.
5. He's continued his education while balancing his football career, too.
If an All-Pro career on the field wasn't impressive enough, Thuney completed his Master of Business Administration last summer from Indiana University. Here's more on his accomplishment from the folks at Patriots.com:
"Starting in 2017, Thuney began taking online courses in the spring and summer through the NFL's tuition reimbursement program. With an undergraduate degree in accounting, as well as a Spanish minor, from North Carolina State, Thuney said an MBA just made sense.
"It was just something I'm interested in. It was really interesting material," he said. "It was something, I guess, that was too good of an opportunity to pass up."
Pursing a graduate degree and an NFL career, individually, are taxing, but doing both simultaneously is an exercise in balance, drive and task management… His springs and summers – the invaluable offseason where players can spend time with loved ones, travel and relax – were spent in virtual classrooms."
Thuney is clearly an impressive individual both on and off the field, and after five seasons with New England, he'll look to be a cornerstone up front in Kansas City as the Chiefs aim for a third-straight Super Bowl appearance.
