Brenen Thompson May Struggle to Consistently Earn Targets in the NFL
Across 13 games as a senior at Mississippi State in 2025, wide receiver Brenen Thompson hauled in 57 catches for 1,054 yards and six touchdowns. The 22-year-old showcased blazing speed at the NFL scouting combine in March, running a 4.26-second 40-yard dash, the third-fastest time for a wide receiver since 2003. Thompson's speed makes him an intriguing downfield threat who can force NFL defenses to respect his ability to hurt them over the top. However, at just 5'9" and 164 lbs., Thompson could be a bit of a one-note pass-catcher. He struggled to produce in college before his breakout year at Mississippi State, recording 27 catches across 27 games split between Texas and Oklahoma from 2022 through 2024. Thompson's big-play ability should be enough to get him selected at some point in the middle rounds of the upcoming NFL Draft, but he does not project as a high-volume pass-catcher. RotoBaller currently ranks him as the 144th-best wide receiver for dynasty formats.
