Thompson can be spun by quality route-runners and is still learning to anticipate route breaks from off-coverage, but his instincts and recognition of play development from zone are both worthy of consideration. With just three years under his belt at cornerback, it's reasonable to assume that his best football is still ahead of him after putting together a solid campaign in the SEC. He has adequate long speed and plays with the field discipline and closing burst that could put him in position to make plays at the next level. He has enough talent to come in and challenge for a spot at CB4 and the upside to earn more snaps.
