How Good is Mykkele Thompson

[Bevo Incognito]

This kid's video is one of the most impressive I've ever seen. Seriously, it's up there on the level of Noel Devine's a few years ago.

Hard to believe he's playing against 5-A competition. He's just shot out of a cannon:

The Link

Not as quick as Devine. I'd say he actually compares pretty well to the HS clips of John Chiles. It's kind of unfair to have a weapon like that on a zone read team. Runs like a WR. I think if he makes the early commitment to WR (like Chiles should have done), he can easily be the guy that gets the catches opposite Shipley.

Explosive!

 

[Dionysus]

Wow.

Exciting player - in HS.

With Harsin, this looks to be a kid who could be seen in several roles - WR, WildHorner, "halfback" passer, jet sweeper, etc.

After the Chiles fiascos, we take nothing for granted, but... we'll see, won't we?

Kid reminds me a lot of myself.

1:30 mark WOW

How is his arm?

Would work great in the Wild Horn (or whatever)

 

[LikeMike]

Looks like a ball hog! Doesn't share with his teammates much.

On orangebloods he is listed as a 4.5 in the 40. He looks faster than that.

 

[tholly]

My gut says he and Diggs will be bookend corner starters for 3 yrs. To be honest though, my gut has about 20lbs of fat to cut

fast, shifty, elusive, quick, ......WOW....how about he needs to touch the ball more than DJ.....???

I don't see how you cannot play this dude on offense, he can play rb, wr and qb. You have to get his speed on offense and the sooner the better.

2010: 238 carries for 2,859 yards and 40 TD's; 84-of-148 passing for 935 yards and 7 TD's


How can you not play this dude on offense? His offensive stats were out of this world in 2010.

 

[Horn2BWild]

12 yards per carry????? With that many carries!

What district was he in? The TECMO Bowl district?

That's crazy! If he can catch, he has to be in the slot.

 

[Horns11]

With Diggs, Evans, Turner, Byndom, White, and Barnett, I don't see a need to put a weapon like Thompson on D. He's a WR for sure.

 

[BigVegasHorn26]

We should go Neon Deion with both Diggs and Thompson, and play them on both sides of the ball. Both guys can clearly do it all and have great ball skills.

 

[starchild]

the guy's a player. i hate to sound uninformed, but how do you pronounce his first name? is it like michael?
