Tedric Thompson
Tedric has good size at 6’0″ 204 pounds, and his game all about one thing — ball skills, ball skills, and more ball skills. He recorded 13 interceptions and 26 pass deflections in his time at Colorado, and has some of the best ball skills in this entire class.
"QBs had a rating of 21.3 when targeting him in 2016, the lowest mark in FBS among safeties with at least 25 targets against."
If an NFL team wants to find a player who is going to create turnovers later in the draft, Tedric is the guy for the job. But there are several concerns, which is why he’ll likely be available around this time.
At the Combine, he tested as a below average athlete, which is a concern. But to his credit, he does look like a much better athlete than his scores would indicate.
The bigger concern is his tackling ability, as he is an arm-tackler that whiffs far more than what would be considered sufficient. If he can work on wrap-up technique, that will go a long way towards making him a quality NFL starter.
