Thompson's straight line speed is a little slower than Seastrunk. Seastrunk has that next level that's hard to find. That's the only reason Seastrunk was drafted, speed, nothing else. And as of right now that's all he has and that's why he's not here.

Thompson has proven he can play RB in the NFL, only problem is he has to stay healthy, which he hasn't been able to do. It just goes to show how consistent his game is when he is out there and how bad the coaches want him out there. Hopefully he can prove his ability to stay healthy and he can have an impact this year.
