"Thompson ran the 40-yard dash in a forehead-slapping 4.26 seconds - a mere .04 off the NFL combine record. What the former Mississippi State star lacks in size - he's a shade under 5 feet 10 and 164 pounds - he makes up for in an ability to almost teleport from one spot to another."
"The Chargers will start five linemen who weren't even in uniform for them for the January playoff loss to New England. Good thing, because that injury-ravaged line was a fire-drill mess last season."
"General manager Joe Hortiz likes doing that, and turned what would have been a quiet weekend - two selections on Day 3 - into a six-pick bonanza."
Brenen Thompson, a receiver for the Chargers, recorded an impressive 4.26-second 40-yard dash, just shy of the NFL combine record. Standing under 5 feet 10 inches and weighing 164 pounds, he compensates for his size with remarkable speed. The Chargers have also revamped their offensive line, bringing back injured Pro Bowl tackles and adding new players through free agency and the draft. General manager Joe Hortiz has embraced trading down for more picks, resulting in a significant increase in selections during the draft.
