I guess it's good to have him back there because he is way more explosive than Rock, but apparently Big10 Receivers just can't make a great impact in the NFL.. Even Braylon Edwards is just an avg player..

You are jumping the gun way too early on Thomas. One, he hasn't fallen to anything. Kelly to date has beat him out because of a very good camp and it just seems that Kelly is a better player. Everything that I heard from last year was that Kelly has always had a leg up.
It used to be you gave receivers at least 3 years. Thomas has finished one year and left school early. So it makes sense that he would take a little more time.
Mitchell is not ahead of Thomas at the moment. Thomas had a good game against the Pats.
You are acting like using him as a kick returner is some indictment. I think it is smart. If he could add some explosion to the kick return game why wouldn't you use him?
