The Steelers signed Thompson to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
Scouting Report
The mobile quarterback has a good arm and can make plays on the move. Health and accuracy were issues in college football, and he entered the NFL at age 25, giving him limited room for development. He reads the field decently, can handle pressure in the pocket and is fairly reliable, but he has to improve at zipping the ball to the receiver.
Long Range Potential: Mobile backup quarterback.
