Chris Thompson

Thompson is Florida State's top returning rusher, but he still faces a great deal of competition for carries this year. Besides Ty Jones and Jermaine Thomas, the Seminoles backfield might also include top recruits James Wilder Jr. and Devonta Freeman. There's a lot of talent to be had in the Florida State backfield, but not enough carries to make any one player a sound investment outside of ACC-only drafts.

Thompson is a scatback in the mold of former FSU star Warrick Dunn. Standing at only 5-8 and weighing 186 pounds, Thompson looks to benefit from a new coaching staff that is not sold on junior Jermaine Thomas as the surefire starter in the backfield. Thompson probably will not get enough touches to put up huge numbers, but should provide some big plays and touchdowns in what seems like the annual FSU running back committee.
