Brenen Thompson: NFL Draft Wildcard
About this episode
Brenen Thompson, a lightning-fast Mississippi State wide receiver, is generating buzz in the NFL draft with his blazing speed and deep threat abilities. Despite his small stature, Thompsons agility, solid ball skills, and toughness make him a valuable asset. However, his short arms and low mass pose challenges in contested catches and against jams, leading to a high drop rate. Injuries and early peeking for the ball also raise concerns. Teams see him as a Day Two pick, potentially as a slot speedster or creative scheme weapon, with the potential to change games with a single touch.

Last season his targets averaged 18.4 yards downfield, making him a top deep threat in college ball. His explosiveness shines on tape, where he blows past defenders and forces them into shell coverages, opening up the run game for his team. Thompson's got agility, solid ball skills, and toughness despite his size. He blocks hard and runs full speed even as a decoy.
