Heeeccccckk no. Hankerson has way more upside than Paul. Hank plays the ball better than Niles at this point. Inside the 20's, I'm rolling with Hank. As secretive as Shanny is, I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't showcase this dude too much during the preseason for a reason. Dude is 6'3 245 pounds.... Who's getting jump balls in the end-zone? Not Santana Moss. Not Terrence Austin. Surely not Brandon Banks.
And not Hank either, if he can't catch.
Ok, just joking. Hank does catch the jump balls, it is the easy ones he drops - the ones right in the bread basket, but give him credit he did catch that one last night even though he had to turn an easy catch into an acrobatic one.
As I said, you can't cut Hank, but but it is tough to see a guy (Paul) get cut who appears to have done everything asked of him - catch balls, fight for underthrown balls, run block, return kicks, cover kicks and get separation on his routes.

Niles Paul started the game and played throughout the game. In the first half he had two receptions for 27 yards, including a 19-yard catch. He had some separation a few other times and did not have any drops or glaring errors.

The sad thing about Hank is he had all off season to work on his concentration for catching easy balls and failed to do fix it. It took Roddy White of the Falcons 4 yrs to fix his dropsy problems and it wasn't until Joe Horn took him under his wings and make him catch hundreds of balls a day to fix it. How long are we going to stuck with "50/50" before he wakes up like Roddy White?
BTW per Redskins.com
Hank is:
Hankerson, Leonard WR 6-2 209 22 R Miami (Fla.)
Paul is
