Summary
Strengths
Game changing speed to get over the top and track the deep ball
Had a 97th percentile average depth of target at 18.4 yards and had 26 targets of 20+ yards, utilizes his speed as a threat
Returned his only punt (bowl game) for 44 yards and should get more looks there in the NFL
Weaknesses
As light a frame you'll see on an NFL field with short arms
Takes a beating at the line of scrimmage by press and can be knocked off balance
Not much YAC creativity and goes flying when tacklers line him up right
Doesn't have the catch radius to adjust to off target underneath throws
Can't be on the field to run block at the next level
Final Report
Thompson is simply shot out of a cannon as a receiver. When he is allowed to generate any kind of build up acceleration, he gets over the top of the coverage to make the defense pay. He generated 22 explosive pass plays (15+ yards) in 2025 and constantly earned deep shot targets. Many will want him to be the next Tank Dell from a skillset standpoint, but he does not possess the same yard after catch ability. At his size, he's bumped around during his routes and bullied in contested scenarios on underneath throws. His wheels are so dangerous that there is a home for him in an NFL wide receiver room, but his size limitations make him very role specific. He did not return punts in college (besides one 44 yarder in the bowl game to end the season), but a team must give him looks there to maximize his value and homerun hitting threat.
