02Scheme fit
Ideal system

This prospect fits best in a quarters or Cover-3 match defense, maximizing his ball-hawking ability and closing speed from depth.

Single-high FSTwo-deep safetyNickel safety
Best role

Immediate special teams impact player, with a ceiling as a starting free safety in a zone-heavy scheme by Year 2.

Wrong fit

Man-heavy schemes that frequently ask safeties to cover slot receivers or tight ends in isolated man coverage will expose his hip stiffness.

Thompson's explosive athleticism and instincts are best utilized in schemes that allow him to read and react, playing downhill rather than in sustained man coverage.
