Shaq Thompson

Da Fuq? Looks like Peters is a better prospect and Shaq drops to second or 3rd round. I'm not drafting a slow undersized WIL who should have played safety in college.
 
I was much more impressed with Shaq at runningback than at linebacker. A 4.72 isn't as big of a deal if you have great vision from a rb perspective, than when you are being asked to run sideline to sideline against a spread.
 
4.72 at RB is a big deal.

HTH

I'm talking about his performance in college. Yes, that is slow as fuck in the NFL. There were times in college when defenses knew exactly who it was going to and what direction, and he could still get the yards and more.
 
Myles Jack looked better on both sides of the ball. Would have given a left nut to have him and Budda in the backfield with Mora as the coach

I thought he'd run a little better than that but I didn't expect any 4.5 times out of him. There's a reason he was immediately moved to linebacker. Big safeties are great, but there are reasons they are rare, the main one being that people want fast safeties.

He does flash pretty damn good speed on the field when he needs to though. He'll be fine in the NFL but running slow at the combine is all it takes to hurt your draft position.
 
4.6 is about where I thought he would be. I'm sure his pro day will be much better, 4.5-4.6. He may be a better athlete with cleats and pads, but that vertical is disturbing
 
Official time for Shaq was 4.64, .04 slower than Laveon Bell

LeVeon Bell was a fat fuck when he was at the combine.

His 40 is at least a tenth faster than that now, probably more.
 
I'd rather have someone quick with instincts than someone that can run a straight line ...

From what I saw from Shaq, looked fine to me.
 
I was busy watching hips ...

He looked like he had loose hips ...

Most of the guys looked like they had stiff hips
 
4.64 isn't bad. He will probably run in the 4.5's at Pro Day.

Shaq's best defensive skill is being able to do something with the ball once he gets it. Other than that, he was a pretty average LB.

He will have a nice career, but I wouldn't want him as a first round pick and I don't think he will be a Pro Bowler.

Agree on avg LB. At the time I said it was ridiculous that Shaq got 1st team LB over the Butkus winner and so many vaginas here got sandy.

I think his best position is actually RB.
 
Something doesn't look right with him on his combine video's besides the obvious weight gain making him slow. A thumper Strong Safety and Dime LB playing at 220lb in a great defense he could excel

Shaq had like 4 or 5 defensive TD's. He deserved first team solely from that.
