So Long Devin

It is official. After not even being listed on the wide receiver depth chart for several weeks, Devin Thomas has been released by the Washington Redskins.

The Redskins have had some painfully memorable top draft pick busts in the past, such as Desmond Howard, Heath Shuler, Michael Westbrook, Patrick Ramsey, and Rod Gardner to name a few.  However, Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly have joined to become the team's first "pair" of busts in recent memory.

Since the Dynamic Duo were drafted in together in the second round of 2008, it has been one disappointment after another. Between showing up for training camp out of shape, showing off lackluster efforts in practice, and an inability to run routes, this duo has not only gone down as a pair of complete busts, but they have also gone down as two of the fastest busts in a long time.  There are only a very special few first and second round draft picks that actually get released by their team in only their third season.  Welcome to the club boys.

So long Devin. You should have stayed in school for your Senior year.
