Devin Thomas (Clark Judge article)

ASHBURN, Va. -- Shortly after completing his first practice as Washington's head coach, Jim Zorn was asked what he thought of his rookie wide receivers. He basically gave them two thumbs-up, though he emphasized they must learn to be patient.

Yeah, well, try selling that to Michigan State's Devin Thomas.

Good article.

What number is Thomas going to wear for the regular season?

I went past a Pro Image today at the Mall and saw a Thomas jersey with the number 11 on it. It'd be weird if they were selling his practice jersey, right?

I think Thomas/Kelly will be wearing 11/12 respectively.

Good to know that we got good value on the pick by taking this kid. I still don't know how the dynamics of our receiving corps is going to work. Will Santana (especially), ARE, and Cooley take the role of teacher-mentors? Or will they see the newcomers as competition? I am especially worried about Moss' situation with the team now. If these rookies can show that they deserve touches, I think Santana could see them as a threat. He is not above lashing out and I could see some locker room chemistry being upset there. For some reason of all of our existing receivers, I think Moss more than anyone is on the hot seat to perform. We'll see...

Like most rookie wr's, Thomas is going to need a year to get his feet wet.

Moss had a rough season last year. His fumble against GB cost us the game, he had a lot of drops, and even benched himself at one point. Plus he's had hammy issues his entire career.

But if he's healthy he's still our best deep threat for sure. I think Devin Thomas and to a lesser extent Kelly will both have a big impact on our passing game right away, but WR's almost always take some time to get adjusted to the NFL. I see Moss remaining the #1 option at WR all season. Hell, having guys like Kelly and Thomas around could help Moss short-term since it will be almost impossible to double team him. We're a pass-first offense now. If a 35 year old Bobby friggin Engram can catch 94 balls in this offense so can Santana.

Moss looked very un-Mosslike until the end of the year. He definitely cost us the GB game. The INT and the fumble for a TD were painful. I can't believe how many games we narrowly lost. We easily could have been 11-5.
