For Juwan Thompson, I believe at this point the only chance he has at making the roster will be at the full back position. That is quite a shame in my eyes. I honestly think he has a lot of potential. He definitely showed that in 2014 when he rushed for a couple touchdowns and showed flashes of his abilities as a running back.

His ability to knock defenders back like a freight train was amazing to see. I remember jumping out of my seat when he delivered a huge blow to the 49ers defender in the preseason just a couple years ago.

He is going to get some tough competition with Andy Janovich for the full back position. This training camp could be a big time dress rehearsal for him if he wants a shot at the opening day roster.
