This player's typical designation as "DE" isn't the Packer fit.
Looking at the tape, he gets pushed around a lot when he plays between 3 and 5 tech. When you watch him outside the OT or TE at 7 tech out to wide-9 (in down stance and standing up), he looks like a different player and is often impactful. He's just better in space. See tape:
In GB I'd see him at the OLB/Elephant position in the Peppers/Neal/Jones mold. Kaufusi is 6'6", 285 and runs a 4.8 and did 25 lifts. Neal is gone and Peppers, Jones and Perry are in contract years.
Thompson's typical invitee is a lower round-to-UDFA guy; this guy probably will go more in the middle rounds. He doesn't fit for your typical 3-tech/5-tech DE and may not be viewed physical enough for 4-3 DE either, so he could drop to 5th. round but I doubt it.
Of course, he played basketball.
He sat on BYU's bench as a frosh and soph before giving it up to commit to football.
