Cowboys 2015 Draft Targets: Washington OLB Shaq Thompson

In his three-year Washington Huskies career, Shaq Thompson played in 40 games, finishing with 3.5 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, 16 passes defensed and five fumble recoveries. But there's more: in 2014, as a junior he was an exciting two-way player, adding 732 offensive yards to his gaudy defensive stats. He even started one game at tailback for Washington (at Colorado), rushing fifteen times for 174 yards and a score, with two receptions for 41 yards for good measure. For his work, Thompson was names the recipient of the fifth annual Paul Hornung Award, given to the nation's most versatile player.
