It wasn’t anything special, just a 12-yard pass over the middle. But to running back Pierre Thomas it was the moment of acceptance by his new teammates.
“That’s when I feel like I got the real welcome, right then and there, when I showed I could execute a play and do positive things on that field,” Thomas said. “I got a real welcome, right there after that play.”
Thomas only played in four snaps, which included that reception, in the Redskins’ 24-21 victory over the Bears on Sunday.
