With 54 days until the the Panthers opener that means we are here to discuss LB Shaq Thompson. Shaq ThompsonLB Youth Greg Olsen Jersey , No. 54Height: 6’0”Weight: 230 lbsAge: 24Born: 4/21/1994 Sacramento, CACollege: WashingtonExperience: 4th seasonHigh School: Grant Union HS [Sacramento, CA]Thompson is penciled in yet again as the starter next to Pro Bowlers Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis. Thompson has all the physical gifts to be a Pro Bowl player and certainly has plenty of starting experience as well. So I am expecting Thompson to take a big leap this season. He will get a chance to shine right out of the gate.As you know Thomas Davis was suspended for the first four games of the 2018 season for failing a drug test. As a result we need Thompson to make this leap right out of the gate. He most likely will get a chance to play Davis’ WLB position http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com/michael-palardy-jersey-authentic , the position he seems best suited for given his play speed. These first four games (Cowboys, @Falcons, Bengals http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com/c.j.-anderson-jersey-authentic , Giants) will give us a preview of what the WLB position will look like past Davis’ (35) career, which I hope still has at least a couple seasons. Fun FactThompson was a star performer in baseball and track in college. He was also one of the highest rated prospects in the country coming out of high school.While he apparently plateaued early in baseball he has not done that in football. It’s going to be hard for any LB to shine when playing next to Luke Kuechly but I think Thompson will measure up in 2018.Keep pounding.Panthers training camp 2018: Fan Fest live updates and open thread It’s Fan Fest day, y’all!Today http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com/wes-horton-jersey-authentic , instead of the normal routine of practicing at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC, the Panthers will give fans a taste of the action at Bank of America Stadium.If you’re not one of the lucky fans who scored a ticket to the event Womens Taylor Moton Jersey , you can follow along here with us.
