Leonard Hankerson is the real deal - he will have a hell of a year.

Mike Shanahan -

"I think he's got a chance to be the guy. Health is what we don't know. He's got the hip. But we're hoping he's going to be that guy. You can see in practice where he's a natural. Big. The thing that separates guys at No. 1 is when they can beat bump coverage and they don't have to slow down to beat it. They're able to keep their speed and be able to get by somebody. He's got that."

Interesting take on Hankerson. From what little we've seen of him I'm reminded of Boldin a bit...great possession WR but not necessarily break away speed. We need both so if Hank can come back healthy indeed he'll contribute a great deal to the offense.

I think Hankerson has the potential to be a bit more dynamic than Boldin, but still not a break away guy. The Redskins only have one player on the entire roster who is a threat to take it to the house every time he touches it, and he's 5'6 145lbs and never plays on offense. We need some gamebreakers for sure.

I know 40 times don't say it all but Hanerson runs 4.43 at the combine. He has good top end speed and so does Helu.

Yea, they used banks a few times on offense and everytime he got the ball. Soon as he is on the field you know he is either running it or its a pass play b/c he can't block anyone but a punter.
