Syd'Quan Thompson Highlights/Lowlights 2009

Looks like better at tackling then covering after watching that vid.

Rulon Velvet Jones · 04-25-2010, 08:25 AM

I'm just amazed that there are Youtube videos for damn near every kid in college.

Looks a good ST guy.

Maybe he could develop into a decent nickelback one day, seems a good tackler and reads the game quite well.

Looks painfully slow though, he'd be a liability on the outside and even as a nickel I'm not sure he'd be able to keep up with his man in man coverage.

I can't find any vids on Walton or Beadles.

Dude...there are high school videos of these kids. It starts too damn early, imo.

I just went to a national QB/WR camp last weekend that featured some of the countries top JUNIOR HS prospects. If that's not sick enough - we are now looking at them from their junior year in HS for college recruits. The kids actually look better and better each year which is the culmination of better coaching and understanding the fundamentals at an early age.

Btw, the top recruit is a huge Elway fan - lol. One kid was tossing 65-70 yard bombs as a junior in HS and of course there were a few that the WR's were complaining were throwing too hard.

He'd be a very good safety if he was a bit taller. Great tackler/reads the game really well

Tombstone RJ · 04-25-2010, 10:08 AM

Syd's pretty fearless against the run.

LonghornBronco · 04-25-2010, 02:49 PM

yea I came away impressed with his takling and run support skills.

SureShot · 04-25-2010, 02:51 PM

He reminds me of former Buff Donald Strickland.

Go on the miami dolphins website, they have good draft videos. Or watch Baylor's QB Robert Griffin highlights on youtube

DeuceOfClub · 04-25-2010, 03:30 PM

He reminds me of Ed McCaffery,

Oops, wrong thread.

Jesterhole · 04-25-2010, 04:13 PM

The info on him says he is a great cover guy, so-so tackler. From that video, it looks like he has the willingness and athleticism, just needs to be coached up on some technique.

Good pick up for a 7th.

Doggcow · 04-25-2010, 04:23 PM

Like I said in the other thread. Great ball skills, an uncanny ability to knock the ball down at the point of attack.
