That's actually not too surprising to me, and I'll tell you why. Todd Pinkston will never ever be a "go-to" type of receiver because he is way too small to go up against the better corners. However, when paired with a "go-to" receiver such as T.O, a secondary talent such as Pinkston can achieve a lot because he is not the main focus of the defense's attention. The problem with last year for Pinkston was that he was the secondary receiver to James Thrash who was, in my opinion, an even more mediocre player than Pinkston. Todd has great hands and speed, and I'm glad that he contributed today, and I expect more of the same.
