Executive Summary

Thompson projects as a priority undrafted free agent with developmental potential in a traditional 4-3 scheme rather than a day-three prospect. He offers positional versatility between weak-side and middle linebacker roles with a physical, downhill approach that should translate to scout team reps. While lacking elite athleticism for sideline-to-sideline coverage, his film shows consistent effort and intelligence that could provide depth utility for a patient organization willing to invest practice squad time.

⚠ Risk Factors

Thompson's 46-grade composite reflects significant athleticism concerns, particularly marginal foot speed and change-of-direction ability that compound his coverage deficiencies in modern spread offenses. Competition level at Florida State during his tenure was inconsistent, and his production doesn't clearly separate him from other FCS/lower-P5 linebacker prospects in this cycle, raising questions about whether he can carve a sustainable NFL role.
