Leonard Hankerson is the real deal - he will have a hell of a year.

Three receivers with less than 20 career receptions? Was this a riddle?

Who was Helu? Who was Cariker? All these players just needed a shot.

That doesn't mean that every player who gets a shot tears it up.

Of course.. I was being humorous (kinda) but as much as I think Hankerson will be a stud, Paul looks like James Thrash 2.0 and Robinson may be Terrence Austin with a couple more years under his belt. I hope we plan on surrounding Hankerson with some more talented WR than Paul and Robinson.

It is. The answer is optimism. We skins fans need it.

Yea, he looked very good in practice, from what I've heard. I think his 100 yd game was indicative of his talents - as a rout runner, he is leaps and bounds beyond where DT ever was - even now.

Kelly could have made it - he almost certainly was talented enough......his knees were no good, though. He should never had been drafted in the second round.

Interesting timing on this thread...and it's like you just woke up from a long coma and discovered Hankerson.

But anyway, yeah big things are expected of him

(Streaches and reaches for the coffee pot.....)

It's hardly a slam dunk - In His first real action, Hankerson was injured. What does that say about his durability?

Hankerson and Blackmon as our starting wr's next year!

That would be an amazing duo! I still like Gaffney somewhere out there too.

This would make me happy to see Rex Grossman again!

In reality though, there is no one we could draft that would make Jabar Gaffney not an opening day starter at WR.

what was his season ending injury this year? I forgot. Was it his knee?

It was his hip, and from what I understand, that type of injury does not require surgery.
