Thompson is also the father of current Titans Senior Equipment Manager, Matt Thompson.
Matt and the rest of the Titans equipment staff was named the Whitey Zimmerman Award winners for the 2023-2024 season, being recognized as the best equipment staff in the league. This was the first time that the Tennessee Titans organization has been recognized with the award.
Titans OnSI sends their condolences to Thompson's family and loved ones as they deal with their loss.
The Titans will begin training camp next week and head into the regular season with a new head coach and plenty of optimism after a strong offseason. Behind Will Levis and names like DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley and Tony Pollard, the team holds high expectations for themselves.
