BIOGRAPHY: Full-time starter the past three seasons after seeing action with the first team as a freshman. Posted career-high numbers of 46/11/6.5 as a senior after 31/4.5/1 previous year.

POSITIVES: Hard-working defensive end with growth potential. Plays with good pad level, works his hands throughout the action, and displays good movement skills. Fluid changing direction, shows ability off the line scrimmage, and covers a good amount of area. Gets leverage on opponents and plays with terrific balance and body control.

NEGATIVES: Undersized and handled at the point by opponents. Average speed off the edge.

ANALYSIS: Thompson is a well-built defensive lineman with the ability to add bulk to his frame. He offers potential at left defensive end if he.s able to stay healthy and improve his body strength.

PROJECTION: Middle Fourth Round
