As the Redskins' senior-most running back in 2016, Chris Thompson proved that he can be a reliable option on the ground and in the passing game.
Each of Chris Thompson’s first three seasons ended almost the same way, with the running back either limited or on Injured Reserve. It led to some applying the injury-prone label onto the 5-foot-8, 195-pound running back from Florida State.
2016 was a different story for Thompson, though. Not only did he appear in all 16 regular season games for the first time in his career, the 26-year old in many ways was the Redskins’ most productive running back.
