Getting to know Chris Thompson and why he was scared of football

ASHBURN — Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson was a fifth-round draft pick in 2013.

After being waived by the Redskins last August, he signed with the team in December and has worked his way to being the team’s third-down back.

The 5-foot-8, 193-pound Thompson is from Greenville, Fla., a no-stoplight town with a population under 1,000 people 40 minutes away from Tallahassee.

What was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to him on the football field?

It happened his senior year at Madison County High School. He talked about that and more in this week’s Sunday chat.
