FSU Football: Chris Thompson Returning to Redskins in 2016

Chris Thompson was a favorite of many during his time with FSU football. The 2013 fifth round draft pick of the Washington Redskins had his most productive year in 2015 and will return in 2016 after signing an exclusive-rights tender.

The 2015 season was important for Thompson after battling injuries his first two years in the league. He battled numerous injuries while at FSU as well, and that was one knock on him going into the draft in 2013.

He played in only six games during his first two seasons, carrying the ball three times for 12 yards and catching six receptions for 27 yards.
