Draft Scout *Devin Thomas News
11/17/09 - WR Devin Thomas, a self-described "wild child," who left Michigan State after his junior year, said he plays better when he starts than as the little-used backup he was in 2008 and during the first five games of this year. "I'm plugged in a lot more as a starter," Thomas said. "It's hard when you feel like you're not (going to be used)." Coach Jim Zorn agreed that Thomas, while "still a pup in my mind," had "earned his right to be on (the) field and us giving him the ball." But Thomas, who had been shut out in two of the previous three games he had started, was blanked again in the first half on Sunday against the Broncos. The disappointing second-year receiver had a 10-yard grab on third-and-8 in the third quarter, but he wasn't the go-to guy with the Redskins facing third-and-3 at the Denver 32 with the game tied 17-17 and just 4:37 remaining. Even so, Jason Campbell still had faith in Thomas and that's where the quarterback went with the ball."Devin's got exceptional speed," Campbell had said earlier. "We've just got to take more advantage of it. But he's (also) got a big frame (6-foot-2, 215 pounds) to take short passes, break tackles and turn them into bigger plays." That's exactly what happened in crunch time on Sunday. Thomas caught a quick screen from Campbell and broke several tackles en route to a 27-yard catch-and-run to the Denver 5. Ladell Betts took the ball across for the game-winning touchdown three plays later, giving Thomas even more reason to celebrate his 23rd birthday. "I just made a play, man," Thomas said of the longest catch of his career. "It felt good."
