47. Shaq Thompson, OLB (Kansas State)

Shaq Thompson is the kind of football player who will do what ever the coach asks him to get done. Thompson is an outside linebacker who can play safety and he also has played running back. Needless to say this is a versatile player.

In the old days he would play both ways and I think that would be amazing to see. In the NFL he is most likely an outside linebacker. That is the position he played almost his entire college career and therefore it is what he is being evaluated for.

He could be a decent pass rusher and a good defender against the run. The 6-2 224 pound Thompson made plays all over the field.

Thompson is a potential star but nobody knows what to expect. We know he can play now we have to figure out how he is going to fit in the NFL.
