An versitle hardhitter, linebacker Erroll Thompson’s game is fit for the next level.

In addition to physicality, Thompson’s leadership separates him from the norm. Thompson stands at 6-foot-1, 250 pounds. He is athletic and fearless, able to disrupt both the passing and running games.

In today’s NFL, a versatile linebacker who can lead is essential. Having served as the quarterback of the Bulldogs’ defense, Thompson’s experience should transition perfectly depending on the team that drafts him.

Thompson posted 96 total tackles in 2020. He added three sacks and an interception. While he may not be getting a ton of attention at the moment, look for Thompson’s name to be called frequently on Sundays.
