Bolts From The Blue on Brenen Thompson
From the article
Thompson has more to his game than just burner speed, which is what could help him to transcend the likes of John Ross or Dri Archer as smaller speed guys who dried up and blew away in the NFL.
STACKED’s take
Thompson's skill depth and work ethic suggest he avoids the bust trajectory of prior small-speed receivers.
Thompson's college production and skill set suggest he can transcend the trajectory of smaller speed receivers like John Ross and Dri Archer who failed to sustain NFL success; he has "more to his game than just burner speed," including elite deep-ball efficiency (11 catches on 26 targets for 478 yards and five TDs on 20+ air-yard passes) and five receptions of 50+ yards, plus he became the first Mississippi State receiver ever to lead the SEC in receiving yards. His August statement that he's "nowhere near where I want to be right now" despite strong training camp reps suggests significant upside as he masters NFL play-calling and mental preparation.
