Summary:

BJ Thompson is a fluid athlete who builds speed quickly. He has average shoulder dip at the high side of his rush and below-average ability to turn speed to power. Thompson has great length and is looking to get his hands into pass lanes when his rush does not get home. He needs to develop more counter moves and gets washed out of his run gaps too easily.
