Since settling in with the No. 1 defense at free safety, Tedric Thompson has been getting more and more comfortable in that spot every day. And as Thompson gets more comfortable within that role, it allows him to play fast, something that shows up in a number of ways, not the least of which is his ability to go from a deep center field position towards the line of scrimmage in a hurry to make a play. On Thursday Thompson nearly intercepted a short pass and broke the ball up after starting the play from a deep middle assignment, and throughout camp he has looked fast and decisive in run support from that position as well.
“He’s growing,” safety Bradley McDougald said. “I just see growth continuously. Growing, not making the same mistake twice. He had a great play coming from the middle of the field today, breaking up a pass. Just gaining confidence, I think that’s what the first game did, and he’ll gain even more as he’ll continue to go through these preseason games and onto Week 1.”
