Anyways, Thompson was a decent rotational player before the injuries piled up, but he has that stigma of being a part of a horrid draft class for the Bengals.  Best of luck to him.

IMO Brandon Thompson did not live up to his draft status (3rd round) even when he was at his best health. He was healthy for all of 2013 and played 11 games in 2014. In those 27 games, he had only 2.5 sacks and 1 TFL. He had a great first step, but really never translated that into (much) NFL success.

I never expected him to make the Bengals roster this year and I don't think he would have made it last year either if he didn't go on IR.
