You want to compare him to the other return greats, but he doesn't even remotely come close to those guys. Hester, Cribbs, and most of the other return guys contribute in other areas. He is not.
Don't take my word for it, Skins reporter Chris Russell says he's not liked much around Redskins park. Seems like he has attitude issues.

Actually I don't remember the good game that Devin Thomas had. And you know that "good" game that Banks had: it broke a franchise record for return yards. And he also scored a 96-yard touchdown (the first redskins punt or kickoff td return since 2006). His returns also lead to 15 other redskins points that game. Another 95-yard touchdown return was nullified by a penalty. So to call that game "a good game" is grossly understating it and his skills-- regardless of what you think of him in the lockerroom or off the field.
A Shanahan quote after that game: "If you weren't impressed with him, then you don't enjoy football."
I guess you don't enjoy football much.
