Dont'e Thornton named a starter for the Raiders

[sami]

Looks like this kid has a shot at being the next stud UT WR in the NFL. He has all the tools, but because of injury and Nico's inability to get the ball down the field was never close to reaching his potential here.

If this kid is suddenly able to stay healthy in the NFL, it will lend more credence to my suspicions about him.

I'd suggest it was more his being injury prone than Nico although if he had a QB who could have gotten him the ball consistently, he might have played through some of those nagging bumps and bruises. But when you know you're not getting the ball, he likely thought why bother or risk it? Might this be happening now? I wonder how enthused some of our WRs are with our current QB room? Let's be honest, not many teams would trade rooms with us right now. Kinda makes you wonder.

They don’t hit in practice like they do in games.

Josh Heupel's offense doesn't develop WR's.
