Next in our draft video breakdown, Luke Inman breaks down Washington' linebacker Shaq Thompson. Because of Thompson's instincs, speed, and range, many have pegged as a first-round pick.The former Huskie uses incredible quickness and agility to knife his way through blockers and attack the quarterback on the blitz.
But as Inman explains, Thompson is best suited as an in-the-box safety at the next level, where he can't get washed out against bigger offensive-lineman when stopping the run. With his production and success playing both sides of the ball at Washington as a running back and linebacker, teams are especially intrigued by Thompson's ball skills, awareness and ability to make big plays.
Stay tuned for more "A Prospect a Day" breakdowns by Inman as the draft inches closer.
