Chris Thompson is another one of those what could have been stories had he been able to remain 100 healthy while at FSU.

Thompson battled multiple injuries that only allowed him to play in 14 games over the last two years of his FSU football career.

However, when healthy, he was electric with the ball in his hands and capable of taking it to the house every time.

He amassed 2,165 yards from scrimmage on 322 plays with 15 touchdowns while averaging 6.7 yards per play. Thompson was drafted in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins, where he’s still on the active roster.
