I remember him playing quite a bit last year and he was in all the safety discussions this offseason...
I know Adams and Jefferson have progressed a lot and are getting a lot of snaps, but I cant recall seeing Thompson play one snap so far....???
Injury or are all these other guys that much better?

Injury really set him back. It'll be an uphill battle for playing time this year for him

It almost seems as if he's redshirting...
Obviously one snap negates that but I don't remember seeing him at all

This is something I've been wondering too. He was really coming on last year before the injury. I know Martin was injured last year, but I think even when healthy, Thompson is just as big, but with more speed. I don't know if people realize that Martin & Thompson are just as big, if not bigger than a number of our linebackers. I wonder if they may redshirt Thompson and or switch him to backer.

The biggest thing I liked about Thompson was that he was one of our biggest hitters of last year. He had one of the biggest hits last year against tAm that really hurt one of thier receivers, and I believe, knocked him out the game. Martin doesn't seem to strike the opponent with a "meanness" or aggression that I like from a SS...just my thoughts

Pretty sure it's a concussion issue for him
