Explosive, versatile DL with real pass-rush juice
Thompson is a disruptive defensive lineman whose calling card is athleticism for his size, edge-versus-interior flexibility, and a knack for making impact plays in the backfield; Washington listed him as a defensive lineman, while pre-draft evaluations and ratings note a 6-foot-4, 306-pound frame and strong movement skills for the position.[2][5] His game stands out more for burst, motor, and versatility than pure volume stats, which can make him a fit for teams wanting a high-upside, scheme-flexible front-seven piece rather than a one-note run stuffer.[2][5]
