I know what you're thinking but before you ask I came across this link from a tweet that Devin posted 5 minutes ago:
"CHECK ME OUT ON ESSENCE.COM EYE CANDY OF THE WEEK!!! - DT"

Though I'm not the targeted demographic for this piece I still took a look since it was Skins related. It's unappealing if you enjoy the company of the fairer sex...or should I say phallically-challenged sex in this case.
One thing it does bring up for me, two things if you're enchanted with the male sex (not that there is anything wrong with that), is that ever since Thomas has gotten into the NFL and with the Skins' it seems as if he is ultra concerned with appearances.
I know I've seen him chest-thump and shimmy enough times after 7 yard catches and 6 yard reverses to come to the conclusion that he fancies himself pretty well. It's great that he has such good self esteem but this pictorial just seems like more proof that he's more interested in football for the off field glory than developing on field production.
Thomas did come on stronger at the end of last season so I'm not completely discounting his on field efforts. From my perspective as a fan though he is exposing more of himself in mags than he is opposing team's defenses.
I really don't care what he does off the field as long as he continues to improve on it.

A man in search of something or himself....Not sure which, or maybe it's a combination of the two.

Classic line, Tee.
I didn't know that DT was part Blackfoot. He's a true Redskin!

Why is it whenever a player does even the slightest thing off the field we assume he isnt doing anything on it?
p.s. he's a WR 90% of them are in love with them selves.

devin's a cool ass dude, when i meet him he was real cool and not a dick or very full of himself. i bet he will get a good hand-full-o-ass from this. i just hope he keeps on the same track from last year he could end up being our number one by the start of the season

After two years in the league he has:
40 catches for 445 yards and 3 TD's with his longest single pass play being 40 yards that compromises around 10% of his lifetime career yardage after two complete seasons.
Earl Bennett, selected in the round after Thomas didn't even touch the field in 2008 and he has yielded 54 catches for 717 yards and 2 TD's.
There is no assumption here...he isn't doing anything of note on the field.
...Not saying that he can't, just saying that he has yet to. Not an indictment of his future, just his past.
Let's hope he can keep more focused than the background image to his twitter account.

he does have the second highest average of yards per catch on the team at 13 yards, kelly is better by .9 yards. while he only caught 25 passes that doesn't always mean it was his fault, i think we have some promise at wr we just need to use them the right way. time will tell, and i think they both need another year, obviously our caoching has been lacking the past two years, they could explode under shanny's new system

Probabley his slow start in pro career.
