I hate to focus on the negative cause that was such an ENORMOUS PLAY in the game, but man is he slow!
Odell Beckham would have taken that to the house running backwards. If you beat the CB on a Stop & Go that badly, with no safety help over the top, you should high-step the last 30 yards and score. I should know, that was my signature move in street football back in the day :global (35):
According to this he has similar speed to Devin Smith's 4.42 They have him here at 4.45 for what ever that's worth . I'd post the link but people are getting upset about posting links for some reason

Early years[edit]
A native of the Liberty City neighborhood of Miami, Thompkins attended Miami Northwestern High School.[1] A classmate of Anthony Gaitor, Thompkins started for Northwestern, but was academically ineligible to play as a sophomore and was later expelled for violating school policy. He was allowed to re-enroll prior to his junior football season, only to be expelled again later in the year.[1] After spending his junior year at an alternative school, he re-enrolled at Northwestern for the third time prior to his senior year and finished his high school football career. Not long after the season concluded, Thompkins was expelled for the third time, after being arrested on armed robbery charges.[1]
After seven mostly drug-related arrests Thompkins was barely recruited coming out of high school. His only scholarship offer was from Morgan State, but he never enrolled.
College career[edit]
Thompkins briefly attended Palomar Community College in San Marcos, California in 2008 before transferring to El Camino Community College in Torrance, California to play football. At El Camino, Thompkins recorded two 1,000-yard seasons in a row, being named a team captain as a sophomore.[1] Following his sophomore campaign, Thompkins signed with the University of Tennessee in order to play under then-coach Lane Kiffin; following Kiffin's departure to become head coach of the USC Trojans football team, Thompkins transferred to the University of Oklahoma Sooners, but did not play at either university, as Oklahoma has a strict policy against admitting students with a history of legal troubles.[1] Instead, Thompkins transferred to the University of Cincinnati, where he played for two seasons from 2011 to 2012.
As a junior in 2011, Thompkins caught 44 passes for 536 yards (12.2 yards per reception) and two touchdowns. As a senior, he recorded 34 receptions for 541 yards (15.9) and two touchdowns.

In the third game of the season, Thompkins caught the first two touchdown passes of his career to help the Patriots win the game 23–3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In week 4, Thompkins had the best game of his young career, registering 6 receptions for 127 yards and one touchdown in a win against the Atlanta Falcons. In week 6's matchup against the undefeated New Orleans Saints, Thompkins caught the game-winning touchdown on a 2nd down play with 5 seconds remaining in the game.[3]
