Kelly was a more polished and productive WR coming out of college so he should be ahead of Thomas on the field. They both are going to be much improved and will make our passing game more potent.
Good point Paintrain. What I see when I watch Kelly and Devin is the kind of elite physical skills and athletic ability Devin has, while Kelly definitely has more developed WR skills right meow. I guess I still think long run Devin has more upside but his development is the critical thing.
