Thomas joins Redskins amid drama at training camp
Duane Thomas, the moody yet talented running back, is slated to start with the Washington Redskins after a trade from San Diego. Coach George Allen says he expects Thomas to arrive at Dickinson College camp to clear personal issues, though no deadline was set. Kilmer notes the team may view him as a misfit turned hopeful winner. Thomas, 26, was rookie of the year in 1970 and starred in the 1972 Super Bowl before contract disputes with Dallas.
