I watched Chris Thompson's hudl yesterday and what stands out the most is that he's just a great all-around football player.
Assuming he goes to the good guys, his position in Orlando's scheme will be an interesting question. Some people have said he could maybe get up to 220-225 and play Rover. I'm not sure he has the frame for that, but it's hard to say without seeing him in person. He's pretty well-developed already and plays at around 200. If he can get to 225, he'd make a great Rover.
As for our safety spots, I think Field is the only spot where he wouldn't be a great fit. He could absolutely play Boundary and Joker, but I think his best fit may actually be Nickel. We're almost three years into Orlando's defense and it' still hard to figure out exactly what Orlando's ideal Nickel looks like (Lord knows @Katfid54 doesn't have a clue), but it does seem to me like he prioritizes a Nickel who can hold up in the run game over a guy who can man up the slot WR. Thompson is extremely good in the run game. He can take on a pulling OL or H-back, and he's an extremely good tackler.
The trait that stands out most though is his route recognition. He reminds me a bit of Caden Sterns in that he's usually breaking on the ball before it's left the QB's hand. The difference being that Thompson is diagnosing the underneath stuff while most of Sterns' plays like that were on routes downfield. Thompson especially excels at diagnosing and blowing up bubble screens, which is a huge part of playing Nickel in the big 12.
More than anything, we just need to get him because he could be successful at quite a few positions, but once he arrives on campus, it's gonna be fun to see where he ends up playing.
