Deonte Thompson- Another Belle Glade Product

Sometimes players come into the league without much attention and bounce around training camps and practice squads never really getting their shot to stick because coaches want younger players with more "potential". In the time while they are bouncing around, some of these guys develop and become hidden gems just waiting to get their shot, usually due to injuries. Belichick has found countless numbers of these guys throughout the years.

 

I am not saying Thompson is going to be a superstar, but he has decent size, speed and made some really nice catches in the game yesterday. When you have 4 targets only and turn those 4 targets into 4 catches for 107 yards, that says a lot. That catch he mad on the second last drive to put us into position to tie was nothing short of spectacular. I think Thompson could be a hidden gem that could help us solve some of our offensive problems. Dilly dilly.

You sure about his being from Belle Glade? TT was talking about how he and DT go back to Hampton High School...which is in Virginia.

That's a mis-quote. They first played together in a HS All-American game. Ty said their relationship goes back to High School, not that they went to the same High School :lol:
