Personal: Spoke with Ravens safety Ed Reed recently about making the transition to professional football. Reed's advice was "Stay humble, stay hungry and save your money," Thompson said.

Harbaugh on Thompson: "Big, physical. Fits the mold of [our first three picks.] There's a theme to our draft right now. He's a hard hitter. ... Ended up at South Carolina State for various reasons. I think he's learned from whatever mistakes he made. He's a humble guy. He's got a little bit of something to prove in his mind."
