Thompkins will have an awesome season.

He has not played much, how would anyone know.. he played some mop up duty. Not the big fast guy we are used to. McCrimmon is a curiosity.

Remember Adonis? Thompkins won't drag tacklers but he'll find seams and be gone in a hurry. Also see him potentially in kick return role.

8.1 yds/carry 9.7 yds/reception and a TD every 10 carries.

I have spoken to current UT players. They are very impressed with Thompkins.

Swanson has been in Kareem's rather large shadow don't be surprised to see him have a great year. If I were one of the bigger Rb's I might consider a switch to LB where there may be an opportunity to contribute sooner.

Take a look at McCrimmon's highlight videos.

Yeah, McCrimmon looks very impressive. We could have another 3 headed monster next year.

Although Ronnie Jones (another Pittsburgh Central Catholic player, 412!!) came in as a RB, I think I saw him on the field a bit last year as a DB. Maybe he is going to become a defensive player for us.

Ronnie Jones was a very impressive back in high school. Tall at 6-1. One to watch out for. I'm more concerned about our small DT's than RB's for next season.

McCrimmon & Thompkins could be Toledo's future version of Thunder & Lightning!!!

+1

I remember watching Seymour's video at the signing day event last year very Impressive the coach talking compared him to Kareem Hunt. Don't count him out of the mix.
