Chargers Draft Speedster Thompson for Herbert

The Los Angeles Chargers just kicked off a fresh offensive vibe by drafting four beefy

offensive lineman and the fastest dude coming into the league.

This year, fourth round wide receiver Brennan Thompson from Mississippi State.

This pick lines up perfect with their new offensive coordinator style, all about unleashing

small, speedy receivers downfield.

Greg Roman's scheme draws from Mike McDaniel's early days in Miami where guys like Tyree

Kill and Jalen Waddle torch defenses with quickness.

Thompson might be undersized at around 164 pounds, but he runs smart routes, stacks corners

with ease, and tracks deep balls like a pro.

Fans and analysts lit up social media right after the pick, calling it a dream match for

Thompson in quarterback Justin Herbert.

Even McDaniel got hyped in draft meetings, pushing the front office to grab this speed

demon.

Comparisons flew fast-less, like the thicker Tyree Kill, more spot on with the Sean

Jackson, matching Thompson's frame and deep threat skills.

Let's back it up too, 70% success against man coverage, nearly 68% versus press, proving

he's no gadget guy.

Thompson drops into an ideal spot with Herbert, slinging it in a receiver room that plays

to his strengths.

If he pans out as that next big, undersized star, charges fans could be grinning all

season.
