Maroney, Jackson (soon), Thomas, Gostkowski, O'Callaghan & Wright(FA)

6 NFL caliber players from 1 draft ... and the team keeps rolling.

This kid can play ... great hands ... we have 3 excellant receiving TE's.

Wright played last year. I don't see Jackson doing anything this year. Gaffney has surpassed him.

* Based on Thomas's short resume it's too bad Watson doesn't have as good a pair of hands as he does. It appears David can catch anythying in his reach.

Great game by Thomas, almost all of his catches were huge for us.

He may have better hands for a TE than Ben Coates...not saying he will be a Coates ... just unbelievable soft pair of hands for a TE and his speed is not to shabby. He will keep Watson on his toes for sure. I won't compare him to Graham because Graham is an A+ blocker and his catches are just a diversion.

Why isn't he used more then????

I do agree that he has "good hands"...

I said he has hands of glue. He caught everything Vince Young threw his way last year.
