ike barn87987 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Twenty-six teams were on hand for Thompson’s workout including the director of scouting for the Houston Texans. He measured 5103 and 186 pounds with hands at 8 3/8 inches and an arm length of 31 ¼ inches. Thompson hit 33.5 inches in the vertical jump, 10-feet-4-inches in the broad jump and completed 11 reps on the bench press. As I reported on twitter, his initial forty time came in around 4.47 seconds with his second clocking 4.56 seconds. The other marks included 11.68 seconds in the 60-yard shuttle, 4.16 seconds in the short shuttle and 6.98 seconds in the three cone. The position drills were run primarily by the Atlanta Falcons, though other teams stepped in and requested specific drills. http://draftanalyst.com/pro-day-workout-jalen-thompson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Chief Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I’ll add this part for anyone who doesn’t click the link Thompson is meeting with the Green Bay Packers this afternoon as the team has shown a lot of interest in the safety. Other teams lining up for Thompson included the New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals.

It seems like there has been at least one but not that many. There have been 45 players selected in the National Football League supplemental draft since its inception in 1977.[1] The supplemental draft was enacted in 1977 for players who had various circumstances affect their eligibility and did not enter the main NFL draft. The only player selected in the supplemental draft to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame was Cris Carter, who was selected in 1987 and elected to the Hall of Fame in 2013. In addition, there have been eight players selected to Pro Bowlsin their careers: Bernie Kosar (drafted in 1985), Cris Carter (1987), Bobby Humphrey (1989), Rob Moore(1990), Mike Wahle (1998), Jamal Williams (1998), Ahmad Brooks (2006), and Josh Gordon (2012). In 1984, the National Football League held a supplemental draft for college seniors who had already signed with either the United States Football League or the Canadian Football League. On June 5 in New York City, the draft was completed in an attempt to head off a bidding war in its own ranks for USFL and CFL players. Three players in this draft entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Steve Young, Gary Zimmerman, and Reggie White. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NFL_supplemental_draft_picks Hashbrown3 and PokerSteve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgiaBoyz Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I hope we bite . Love me some Rico but Achilles are a bltch & Rico was already limited athletically . Kazee was up & down playing deep .. having Thompson behind Rico & Kazee & the other UDFAs would be comforting & worth a pick .

FalconBlood Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I think we are high on Cooper and Wilcox behind Neal and Rico. I think Kazee would become our Safety if Rico or Neal got hurt and we would ask a lot of Cooper, Wilcox, Wreh-Wilson, Sheffield or Miller to step in and be a competent Nickel. I am not sure this supplemental guy makes me feel any better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I dont know a thing about this dude but apparently 26 teams were at his workout and the Falcons staff ran the drills. We've got a little bit less depth in the back row than people seem to think. I wouldnt be shocked but again, I dont know anything about him.
