[wakenbakejake420]

hell come back strong next year and be a beast

[Floridafishingfreaks]

@KRIIMZONx i know right that sucks

[JOLTuniverse18]

He came a long way since the preseason,love my boy hank,but now hes gone for the year,BS,See u next year hank,u've got a bright future with the BNG

[Floridafishingfreaks]

haha everybody under me is saying he cant run routes and hes a bust, thats why he got 100 yards recieving today?

[KRIIMZONx]

@Floridafishingfreaks too bad hes out for the year FMLL everyone on this team just gets hurt so much

[KRIIMZONx]

what a steal but i dont see him having a chance this year because of his poor preseason performance but next year him and moss will start

[iTzBeNrAy]

If they give him playing time, hes going to be amazing, easily.

[KRIIMZONx]

hankerson isnt going to much his rookie year but he will step up next year

[theZfactor21]

ya so he dropped a few passes, but the ones he did catch were incredible. that one against the colts where grossman threw it way over his head and had to jump to snag it, and the crazy shoestring catch vs. the ravens. this guy is gonna be sick in a few years

[zacharykelway]

Im a skins fan. Think hes a bust. hope he makes the team. He cant run a rout besides a post.

[X360ISAIAH]

@zacharykelway you know who also cant run a route who just ran long, Randy Moss. And hes a future hall of famer. Have faith in Hankerson.

[slimnerek]

Saw this guy play against the steelers and I can say I'm not impressed. He was dropping passes almost every time and didn't run his routes sharp enough. I'm just hoping it was first game jitters bcuz I am really hoping this guy can be the redskins version of Dez Bryant

[JOLTuniverse18]

@slimnerek well that was his first nfl game,lets not judge based on that,the skins were aware of his drops before drafting him so hopefully he'll get a little more consistent as we move along.

[nuclearthreat545]

hankersoooooooooooooooooooon

[xfactor541]

STEAL of the draft. I've been watching Hank since high school. Redskins got a future hall of famer, mark my words.

[ILive4saturdays]

@xfactor541 jaquizz was by far the biggest STEAL, but Leonard was up there. i thought he'd be taken late first or second round.

but jaquizz being picked in the 5th round was just ridiculous

[balser77]

@xfactor541 Yeah but he needs to improve on catching the ball.

[Theaterman527]

@xfactor541 From your mouth to God's ears.... Is he a hard worker though? HE seems like a very well mannered young man....

[cubsfan5431]

Cant wait to see him this season lets go skins!!!

[JRRingling004]

I kinda feelin dat Hankerson - Armstrong Loadout. Some serious weapons rite there.

[brklynsown]

As john beck throws another pass at his feet

[keena302]

@brklynsown

I fully agree.....if John Beck is our day 1 starter we're screwed........at least let a veteran in Rex Grossman start so we can at least save face across the NFL and next year we draft Andrew Luck.

HAIL!!!!

[fjd124]

I loved this pick as Hankerson was one of two players I wanted us to get. The other was Wisniewski who ended up going to the Raiders. I think Hankerson can be the new Art Monk and I hope he gets a chance to start this year. We've signed a lot of free agent WR though so he'll have to pick up the system quick but he is going to be a star. I thought he was great at the U.

[halospartan117899]

watch at the end of the season in Madden.....he will be at least a 87 receiver

[RealEffinG212]

Hes a 67 in Madden NFL 12!! WTF EA? I hate madden man. He coulda atleast been a 74. But dont worry he'll show the whole nfl who he is!

[SportsGuy2194]

@RealEffinG212 dude they will update his rating when he destroys people. No worries. EA doesn't even know what football is.

[VGMasterFreak]

The Incredible Hankerson: Monster Receiver, let's go Skins!!

[kellydude]

Is it strange that the little kid had on a Cooley jersey? Weird

[RealEffinG212]

Yo i just created a Laron Landry 2010 highlight video check it out!

[TheMTHproductions]

HTTR

[captainbannana69]

U guys can have Torrey smith can we have hankerson?

[thefreashking]

only 6'1 i thought he was about 6'4,,they look taller in their uniforms

[MrLandus7]

A Baller!



[colderbeer]

The steal of the draft. Years from now most fans will just assume he was a first round pick based on how talented of an NFL WR he will be. How cool was it to see the Redskins actually take part in the NFL draft?

[VGMasterFreak]

@colderbeer I know right? People will bitch about the QB all they want but we finally made the right choices in the draft and I am Sooo looking forward to these guys developing.

[colderbeer]

@VGMasterFreak As much as I love Moss, the Skins really needed a big receiver you can out-muscle and out-reach DBs for the ball....Hankerson is just the guy who'll be able to make the tough catches in traffic, etc. Plus, it's so much easier for a QB to find and complete passes to a big guy than a little guy....

[VGMasterFreak]

@colderbeer yeah I definately agree, our whole offense needs to see some changes for us to spark again, especially some nice wide receivers like Hankerson will hopefully be. I've always been hoping that we'd get a tall receiver but I never thought they'd actually do it in the draft hah.

[thaitaniumm]

moss, hankerson, armstrong???

HAIL

[WarriorRedskins]

we were truly in the war room this draft.

[HGCver]

younG andre joHnson

[simplesandwichman]

Who was that kid already rockin the Cooley jersey @ 0:05 ?

[NightmareTeeVee]

THE U!!!!

[theMadH8r]

Keyshawn Johnson-esque at best which isn't bad

[ComputerJunkie00]

@theMadH8r

Hopefully he won't have Keyshawn's shitty attitude.

[stevenp25100]

@ComputerJunkie00 just saw a video today where he was picking up trash with no problem. Also, he told the vets to call him "hank" and they were nah, you gotta earn nicknames... he had no problem with it. I'm crossing my fingers, we could have made out HUGE in the 3rd.

[01CanesrdGOAT]

Congrats Hankerson! You were a beast at The U! I'm absolutely floored that you didn't get picked up in the 1st round.

Thank You for coming to UMiami. The Redskins are The U II and we're proud of you.

[MmmMmmGood17]

yes sir yes zir

[danny33175]

[HTTR4LIFEBnG]

[VGMasterFreak]
