Posts fastest 40-yard dash of WRs
Thompson posted an official 4.26-second 40-yard dash at the 2026 NFL Combine on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Thompson and Zavion Thomas were the only two wide receivers Saturday who ran sub-4.30 second dash times. The Mississippi State product reached a top speed of 23.95 miles per hour on his second dash attempt, which was the seventh-fastest top speed since 2023 and faster than Xavier Worthy's mark from 2024, when the latter reached 23.62 mph on his record-setting 4.21-second 40-yard dash, per NFL Next Gen Stats. Coming into the Combine, Thompson wasn't listed as a top-10 wide receiver on Mel Kiper of ESPN's Big Board rankings, but the wideout's 40-yard dash time could help him move up draft boards for several teams. During his final season of college, Thompson caught 57 passes for 1,054 yards and six touchdowns while turning four carries into 14 yards and a score across 13 games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could go on Day 2
Field Yates of ESPN projected that the Steelers will select Thompson with the 53rd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
Thompson flew under the radar while finishing his collegiate career at Mississippi State, but he led the SEC with 1,054 receiving yards in 2025. He then ran a 4.26 40-yard dash at the combine, helping his draft stock rise. Thompson is still commonly considered a Day 3 prospect, but his smaller frame and speed could fit well in a Pittsburgh wide receiver corps that features more physical receivers in DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman.
