Scouting Journals for Tyler Thompson

Long and lean edge defender who can bend, dip and rip his way to quarterbacks with dangerous efficiency. Impressive pass rush arsenal that includes a flurry of speed and power. Quality shock in his hands for a slimmer build. Excellent burst and ability to get off of the line of scrimmage. Shows terrific change of direction and flexibility when working in space. High motor player who chases ball carriers from the backside. Biggest question will be his ability to add mass throughout his frame while maintaining his athletic ability. High ceiling player who has all the upside in the world. Also a starter for his high school basketball team.
