Baltimore Ravens OC Jim Caldwell has seen improvement in WR Deonte Thompson’s game. “He’s a gifted route-runner, and he is getting better,” offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell said. “He’s young, and he’s developing. [Wide receivers] coach Jim Hostler is working with him, and certainly, getting him refined in all aspects of the game. He understands how to sink his hips. He can do a great job of changing direction.He has speed, can catch the ball, and he’s tough. I think that’s a pretty good blend. He’s a young guy, so we will see. If he keeps improving the way he’s going, I think he will be a fine player.”
Our View: Some think Thompson is the favorite to win the WR2 job opposite Torrey Smith. He’s incredibly fast (4.3) and can get over the top of the defense in a hurry. Thompson is competing with Jacoby Jones for that spot.
