'I believe I’m a winner at heart. That’s the type of mentality I’m going to bring to the organization.' skylarjthompson talked to TDN about his combine performance, how his collegiate career prepared him for the NFL & more. FrontOffice33 | NFLDraft
is one of the most experienced quarterbacks available in the 2022 NFL Draft. Thompson departs the Wildcats program as the all-time record holder in several statistical categories. The Independence, Missouri native appeared in a healthy 45 games and is the only quarterback in program history to record 6,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards throughout his collegiate career. His dual-threat skill set is very much in demand at the next level.
I understood the mission of each play. That allowed me to understand where my check-down was. It gave me a contingency plan going into every play ST: It gives me a ton of experience, that’s for sure. You name it, I’ve experienced it and seen it over the years. I’ve been in every situation that you can possibly think of in a football game. I’ve played in and led my team to big-time upsets over Oklahoma. We won a lot of games over big-time programs. I’ve also been beaten by teams that we probably shouldn’t have lost to. All of those experiences add to my repertoire.
I believe I have a much stronger arm than what people give me credit for. I believe I’m also more accurate than what people give me credit for. Being able to get in front of NFL decision-makers, to be able to throw the ball in front of them, that was huge for me. How I operate and interact with people adds value to my abilities as a quarterback. I’m a natural leader. I believe the combine gave me a perfect opportunity to showcase what I’m going to bring to an NFL organization.
I can admit that I relied on my legs a lot throughout the early portion of my career. I would get through the first two of my progressions and if it wasn’t there, I would tuck it and run. It benefited me on some occasions and hurt me on others. If it went wrong, it’s because it caused me to miss a touchdown pass that was available if I got to my third and fourth reads. I changed that this past season. I was more comfortable going through all of my progressions. I didn’t rely on my legs in 2021.
Going into every week, if we had a certain play that we wanted to run if we received a certain pressure look, that responsibility fell on my shoulders. I had to get us into those plays. We also had some double running game calls. We’d call two run plays and I’d basically check into the correct play at the line of scrimmage based on what defensive front we were facing. We made a decision based on the look we received from the defense.
