This prospect is an ideal fit for schemes that prioritize zone coverage principles and rely on versatile defensive backs to play multiple roles, such as the Cover-3 match or quarters scheme.
Year 1 as a rotational sub-package nickel or slot corner with high-end starter potential as a versatile defensive back.
He would be a poor fit for a man-heavy defense where he is consistently isolated against larger, more physical receivers.
Thompson's athleticism and coverage instincts make him a schematic weapon in various zone-based defenses, but his size limits his effectiveness in man coverage against bigger targets.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
