"Orchard Park, N.Y. -- Last Monday, Deonte Thompson was leaving the New England Patriots' facility after a workout with the team. He was about to take a flight home and play the waiting game when the Buffalo Bills called.

"Don't get on that flight,'" Thompson recalled them saying. "Get here ASAP."

Just 24 hours later, Thompson was a member of the Bills. Six days later, he caught four passes for 107 yards, including a crucial 44-yard grab on the game-tying drive in a 30-27 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In less than a week, Thompson went from unwanted to the Bills' first 100-yard wide receiver since Sammy Watkins amassed 154 yards on Christmas Eve last season."

Deonte ran a 4.3 in the 40 yard dash? That's pretty nuts. To compare, Sammy ran a 4.4.

 

Obviously the 40 isn't the be-all, end-all measurable for a receiver... but he caught everything thrown his way today and considering his history with Tyrod, if he's able to be a downfield threat... that could make a huge difference for the offense.
