Thompson is in the back of the pack at tight end. It's a suddenly-deep position group on paper for the Giants. However, the Giants have had some luck with undrafted tight ends recently - at least in terms of strong showings in the preseason. It has yet to translate into regular season contributions though.

Thompson served mainly as a blocker for Temple as a senior, but he did catch three passes for 43 yards and a touchdown as the Owls went 10-4 and won the American Athletic Conference title.
