Quote:Breaking tackles on returns is a bit overrated. By the time you are breaking any tackle, everyone has the angle on you. I think speed/acceleration and vision are what really count in the return game. Archer has plenty of wiggle, he's just so small.
I was just saying the type of player he is. Sproles was a great return guy as well. I didnt see much wiggle from Archer, nothing like Sproles or Cohen imo
I'm good with marquise lee
Curtis Samuel is intriguing with his speed, although I kind of wonder of Corey Grant might surprise in year two as a return guy. Grant is at least just as fast as Samuel.

agreed

me three.
I think Kamara could do a great job on returns, but if we're drafting a RB in the second round, it won't be to return kicks.
Quote:I think what we lack is that home run talent. A returner that can take it to the house nearly every time gets the ball. Though that is not realistically possible. And with the starting point being the 25 yard line now. Seams like the return game has taken a hit. But still to have that guy is awesome.
So who is out there. That could make an impact for us in the draft?
Marqise Lee
I'm wondering if Jalen Myrick can return kicks.
I'm cool with Lee and Greene handling kicks and punts. Maybe Grant on KR duties if they can shore up his hands a bit.
But I wouldn't mind a late round or UDFA DB or WR with return skills.
An UDFA prospect with some return skills would be
Victor Bolden from Oregon State.
Brisly Estime is another guy to watch in UDFA that has good return skills.

Fixed
Quote:He's like a slower version of Dri Archer.
Shoot, why not just sign Dri Archer. He's a FA right now. He can return kicks and if you want speed, he'll blow the doors off.
Archer's speed was negated in Pittsburgh by his size and apprehensiveness to take hits in the NFL.
Quote:Adoree Jackson. Insurance for the slot if Colvin doesn't re-sign at the end of next season, and an immediate impact return talent in both punting and kicking.
Yes this guy, would love to draft him
The reason Lee might not be full time returner is he will likely be a starting WR, you might not want him back there too

He'd be a great 3rd/4th rounder. Not sure I'd take him before that.
