Thompkins left his feet on 22 of the 48 passes thrown his direction (Thompkins has been targeted 56 times, but I removed the passes he no chance on). He also used a “double catch” on seven passes. It’s hard to tell if those dives were necessary, but at least a few were the result of Thompkins putting himself in poor position to receive the ball. Those traits alone aren’t enough to keep him off the field – Brandon Lloyd also had a penchant for leaving his feet – but it’s not always the best approach and immediately erases the possibility of gaining extra yards.
