Report: Redskins interested in RB Pierre Thomas
by Jason Butt | CBSSports.com
The Redskins are interested in running back Pierre Thomas, according to a report from ESPN.com. However, the Redskins want to wait until after the draft before making a decision on whether or not they want to bring him in.
Thomas is a dual-threat back in the running and passing games. In 2014, he ran for 222 yards and two touchdowns, and totaled 378 receiving yards and one touchdown.

I wouldn't mind Pierre Thomas. He may not be a top RB at his age -- but
he is a good blocking RB and a good pass-catching RB -- good for a 3rd down RB..
This article says PFF rated PThomas as the 4th best receiving RB, and best blocking RB. Would be good complement to AlfMo as a third down back until we get a good young replacement.
Regardless, we really need good blocking TE/RB to help our QB, and this is one option.
