Wide Receiver

Deven Thompkins

5th season

Deven Thompkins showed up in Las Vegas with something to prove

A tryout is not a contract. It is a chance to be in the room.

Deven Thompkins, a wide receiver currently without a team, took that chance on Monday, working out for the Las Vegas Raiders. That is the whole event — and it is enough of one. A player who wants to keep playing, and a team willing to take a look.

For a free agent, the difference between a phone call and a workout is the difference between being talked about and being seen. Thompkins made the drive to Las Vegas and put himself in front of the coaches. What they saw is still an open question.

Whether this turns into anything, nobody knows yet. But the door is not closed.
