Leonard Hankerson: Patience

[GO HAMSKINS]

All I know is this for the Hank85 haters...Take a look at all of the 5 game winning streak game highlights ...Did you notice that Hank85 was on every single one? I watched Sportcenter and all the other shows for game highlights, and in our winning streak Hank85 has made an appearance in every single one. Can't deny that HTTR

[Murphs56]

Hanktime is awesome. Couldn't ask for much more on this winning streak. Big catches at crucial times

[HighOnHendrix]

He shows up at opportune times. I'd say he's more reliable than Moss at this point.

[amm0409]

Big target and coming into a zone. His made some big plays!

[Zarg]

Yeah, I also hold my breath when he's wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeee open and that ball just seems to take 4 hours to get to him... But yes, very happy he's making plays...

Hank is real.

Your position makes you a far better expert than many on the board. I've been critical for Stankerson's propensity to drop balls (Maybe an eye exam?). He did look great yesterday.

[Tulane Skins Fan]

I'm all for patience with the guy, but I could really do without the "hankerson bobble" approach to making a catch.

[KDawg]

I've said it a million times, from when we drafted him, through his struggles, through now:

Here is what Hankerson is:

-A hard working player
-Will prepare with the best of them
-Coachable, willing to learn
-Decent speed, improving routes, good sized target
-Has mediocre hands. Will make incredible catches and will drop easy ones

That's what you get with Hank. I think the positives far outweigh the negatives with him. He will come into his own. But he'll always drop (or bobble) balls. It's the way he's always played. He's a good addition to this team, and I don't think he's a guy that is going to outprice his services. He might be a 'Skin for a very, very long time.

Love Hank's improvement, but man, he looks like a clumsy **** sometimes. I even held my breath on the bootleg for a TD.

[pjfootballer]

Glad to see he's on the upward swing. He had me worried earlier in the season when he was playing up to his potential.

[MLSKINS]

Hank has been killing it recently. I stand by my earlier statement that he was playing scared in the beginning of the season. I don't know if it was the injury or what. All I know is that now dude is open a lot and that is a good thing.

[acuratl1984]

Hank is getting there, I dont think he is as dependable as Morgan or Santana at the moment though.
Morgan has had some crazy catches, Hank not so much. Hopefully next year Hank can be our #2.

I agree.. i recall how much pain he appeared to be in when the injury happened.. I'm sure it had a psychological effect that he had to get past.
he was playng scared early on,, sometimes it looked like he couldn't find the ground fast enough after a reception.

Nice to see him make some plays and start to get that confidence rolling. Big target and bog potential
