Chaun Thompson

I don't know anything about him (school - career stats) but Matt Gambil at All Pro Sports has been touting him as a sleeper pick as an outside linebacker. He is reported to be about 6' 1 1/2" 235lbs and recently ran a 4.41 on grass.

Anyone know anything more about him? Gambil thinks he could be a day one (3rd round) pick at the draft. Buffalo might be looking for a LB at that point.

<h3>WT's Thompson selected LSC South all-conference </h3>


Lone Star Conference champion Texas A&M-Kingsville landed 13 players on the 2002 South Division all-conference football team, announced Tuesday.

The Javelinas also garnered five of the seven individual honors on the team, selected by a vote of the seven head coaches in the division.

West Texas A&M's only selection on the first or second team was senior linebacker Chaun Thompson, who was a first-team pick at linebacker. Thompson led the Buffs in tackles this season, despite playing on an injured ankle for the first few weeks.

Thompson, a fifth-year senior, also was selected as the linebacker of the year. He finished the season with 104 tackles, including 58 solo stops and 11 for losses. He had one quarterback sack, two forced fumbles, two interceptions, one fumble recovery and five pass breakups. It was the third time Thompson had more than 100 tackles in a season, as he finished his career at WT with 311.....MORE

He's the top LB featured in Boomer's Draft - "Diamonds in the Rough" (http://www.boomersdraft.com/2003/DITR.html)

Everything about him sounds better 'n better.

West Texas A&M LB Chaun Thompson's post season momentum has continued. The 6017, 240-pound LB with 4.4/4.5 speed is scheduled to workout in Canyon, Tx on March 13th at 11am in front of at least 15 teams. Chaun has been rated as my #2 OLB prospect for three months now and he's established himself as a solid first day prospect with a tremendous upside. He's moves very well laterally, shows a tremendous burst in pursuit, locates the ball well, shows good change of direction skills, balance, and understands the game very well. He can also kick off. Very good looking prospect

Another Paul MaGuire ( OK I know he was a punter, you get he idea)
