Redskins receiver Devin Thomas looks ready to make the impact everyone expected from him a year ago.
The second-year player appeared to have the clearest path for a major role of any rookie wideout in 2008, but he largelysat on the sidelines while DeSean Jackson, Eddie Royal, and Donnie Avery exploded.
It looks like Thomas will get plenty of snaps this year.
The Washington Post has written about his progress non-stop, and coach Jim Zorn says he’s clearly ahead of teammate Malcolm Kelly.
“We have a lot of confidence in where he’s headed,” Zorn said about Thomas. “I think Malcolm Kelly is coming on, Devin is showing that he
is a little more seasoned than Malcolm right now.”
Zorn went on to say there would be great competition between Thomas and Antwaan Randle El for the team’s starting flanker spot.
But all indications are now that Thomas will get the gig, with Randle El moving to the slot.
Whether its wishful thinking or not, the Redskins believe they have found the extra playmaker that Jason Campbell has needed the last two years.

I think you have it backwards. The RECEIVERS have needed an extra playmaker the last two years,, and Jason Campbell is NOT him………..and never will be.
Please God let it be true…
Wow, ahead of Malcolm Kelly….what a ringing endorsment!
He is going to have a great year, with Randel El at the slot its a much better position for him to play. We will SEE.

If Randle El can become 3/4 of what Wes Welker is the Skins will be cooking with gas.
