Chris Thompson Thread

Yeah, CT is probably the best screen guy we've had since Santana.

OTM, I love CT and what he brings to the game but he's definitely not a long run burner. I'm ok with that though because he makes plays. He's never gonna be the fastest guy on the field, but for a small guy he makes shit happen, and we'd be effed if we didn't have him because right now he's taking a lot of heat off Pryor and Doctson.

I think he has lost some speed from his FSU days because of those injuries but he still has the initial quickness

He was in the 4.4 - 4.5 range coming out of college. He's definitely bulked up in the pros so he's probably lost a little bit of speed. Yeah I agree in both instances the defender had a good angle on him.

Thanks to Mike Shanahan for drafting Thompson..... quite a few of Shanahan's draft picks such as Jordan Reed, Chris Thompson, Trent Williams, Ryan Kerrigan, and Kirk Cousins have all made huge impacts right after he was relieved of his coaching duties.....

This was him in college, he does look like he has bulked up quite a bit, and he did break his back in college as well. Either way he has been great for us

Shanahan knew what he was doing the whole time.

Except when it came to handling a gimpy QB of course

I'm a diehard Skins fan and diehard FSU fan. The force is strong with my mancrush on CT. Definitely my favorite player. I love Trent too. If he went to FSU, he'd probably be my favorite.

At this pace they should rip up that extension and give him even more $$

for real.

i thought we could find a similar talent late in the draft, i was wrong!

pay this man. mo money

I credit Gruden as well for recognizing the talent he has in Thompson, and for putting him in plays that work well WITH his talents and he is thriving in it!

Thompson and Reed (when healthy) has been the only ones to make anything happen on offense.
