Tiny Receiver, Big Hopes: Thompkins Makes a Bills Minicamp Case
The Buffalo Bills added Deven Thompkins to their mandatory minicamp roster, highlighting a player who, despite a small frame (about 5'7", 167 lbs) and limited NFL production, tested well at Utah State pro day and has a track record of playmaking and return duties. The piece recalls Thompkins’ 2022 draft crush, outlines his pro journeyman path (Buccaneers, Panthers, Falcons), and argues he isn’t a typical tryout: he brings speed, route skills, and postseason experience that could earn him a training camp invite and a potential roster spot if he continues to impress.
