Quick answer
BuyThompson had 33 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2025, finishing LB100. Finish path matters here: LB142 → LB100 is a breakout, not a development pitch. Played a short 2024 (4 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
