On February 9, 2023, the world found out what Miami Dolphins fans have felt in their hearts for what has seemed like forever… Zach Thomas is a Hall of Famer! As former Fins’ head coach Jimmy Johnson announced Thomas’ name from the NFL Honors stage, Dolfans rejoiced and the legendary linebacker’s world shifted into overdrive. Diving into The Fish Tank for the first time since 2018, Zach shares with hosts Seth Levit & O.J McDuffie what life has been like since being named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2023, reflects upon his spectacular career, takes us under the helmet of one of the most prepared players in the history of the game, and expresses his love for the Dolphins organization and all of Miami.
The Fish Tank is Presented by iHeart Radio.

Zach is also a class act. Back when I was 7, while he was still playing, I saw him at a sushi restaurant and went up to him and told him how he was my favorite NFL player. He talked to me about football and how much it meant to him that I was a fan. He asked my parents for our address and then sent a signed Jersey that I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possession. Zach deserves this.

I watched Zach his rookie season through his whole career at Joe Robbie Stadium and it was awesome to watch him play. You could tell he prepared every game. He was great and that's why now he's a Hall of Famer. Congratulations to Zach!!! Fins Up

First class bad ass!! Congrats to you Zach Thomas, can’t wait to see you at the Hall Of Fame induction!!

I've been a Dolphins fan for 47 years, since I was 7. And you're my second favorite Dolphin, only behind Dan. Undersized my a$$. You proved that wrong. Thanks for the fantastic memories Zach. And Congrats. You can now sit next to Jason Taylor as HOF brothers.

As always. Great video Doug. I guess most people including myself never wonder about the QB learning so many new offenses under new OC’s every year. It sure makes a world of a difference. We as fans just pay strict attention to the results….

Not long after Zach became a Dolphin and I was living in Pampa, Texas and watched all the televised Miami Dolphins games. An older friend of his, Miss Audrey Jenkins called me and said, "Nanc be down at the house in an hour!! Zach's coming by. So Humble, mannerly, and down to earth. I sent a a message to him about a year later & ask if he autograph a picture for my little nephew...18-19 yo, in the USAF, & never been away from home or Amarillo. Right out of Basic he was sent to S. Korea for 13 months. I mailed Adam the autograph picture and Zach wrote: To: Adam, my Hero, my True Hero!! Zach That was such a meaningful thing & a true Blessing! Thanks, Zach!!!! So proud of you. Hall of Famer!!!! Such an Honor for a Deserving Man.

The Miami dolphins were a great team at one time back in the 70s and some in the 80s but now not. I am a big dolphin fan but they have done nothing in all most 20years . The G.m needs go for one and for Mike I just don't no yet this year will tell . I think the dolphins will not do well 5and 12at the best no running game no OL and for the QB,s the dolphins real don't have one he his not been on the field all year and this is he's 3rd tis time for him to go as well.
