Not one of the seven Nittany Lions invited to Indianapolis for the annual NFL Combine, wide receiver DeAndre Thompkins has used strong workouts to make his name a known one in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Thompkins has played wide receiver for the Nittany Lions since seeing the field as a redshirt freshman in 2015. Aside from receiver, he also saw time on special teams.
A four-star recruit in the 2014 class, the North Carolina native was known for his speed and big-play ability. Although he was just the No. 34 wide receiver in the class, he showed flashes of talent in high school and as mentioned, brought unteachable speed to the table.
