BJ Thompson-EDGE-Stephen F Austin

Copy and paste my post from another thread:

Coming from an FCS school, it was good to see him dominate the competition at the Shrine Bowl. Similar to McDonald, Thompson is an elite athlete with 35" arms. Also similar to McDonald, he is undersized....he has long and thin legs that I worry are going to snap like toothpicks at any moment. In fact, he's even lighter than McDonald. I don't think he's quite as bendy as McDonald, but he may be more athletic. He was a 2-way player and 4 sport athlete (football, basketball, baseball, track) in highschool. He is expected to have a 40"+ vertical. Not sure if he got a combine invite, but I'd expect him to be added after his performance at the shrine bowl.

Could he be good at LB?

Get this kid into an NFL strength and conditioning program to add some muscle/mass and he should be great. Would be a good late round flyer pick as a designated pass rusher.

This is the type of dude that you say is a lb then line up at edge like Reddick. NFL coaches and dcs have no idea wtf to do when they do this.

We saw this over and over last year where dcs have no idea and just shove a tight end there to get blown up instead of treating them like legit edge rushers.

Or they put the RB on them or pull a wr receiver and he owns them.

You just have to scheme it right.
