Maybe so, but it seemed like when he played with us, he could get open, but seemed prone to drop key 3rd down receptions.

He was a lousy route runner. rounded corners, telegraphed his moves, did nothing to set up corners. He may have been open on occasion but why bother looking for him if he's not where he is supposed to be 80% of the time.

This. All receivers have good hands. The ones who make the catches in the games are those who rep the routes the same way in the games as they do in practice, and know when/where to expect the football on their body. Bad hands are a symptom of a larger problem. Just ask Carlos Rogers.

Someone once described a specific baseball pitcher as a ".500 pitcher".

He supposedly had a ".750 arm and a .250 brain".


Adapt this to Devin Thomas as you will...
