BIOGRAPHY: Broke into the starting as a junior. Suspended for most of his senior season by the NCAA after using a banned dietary supplement.

POSITIVES: Thompson has an NFL body with the potential to add even more bulk and strength. His progress was slowed last season by the NCAA suspension. Thompson is a solid developmental prospect who should be given an opportunity on a practice squad for at least one season.
