What if ETN gets say 125 rushing attempts for 500 yards, 3 TDs and 45 catches for 550 yards and 5 TDs, and is one of the league leaders in punt returns?

Is that enough? What is your over/under on rushing and passing returns this season?

Jamal Agnew was brought here to be the main return man. If they drafted ETN 25th overall to put him on return duty as well, that's not a good look.

I think 1050 total yards and 8 TD is pretty underwhelming for a 25th overall pick. Considering our UDFA James Robinson put up 1414 total yards and 10 TD, in only 14 games.

Forgot about Agnew. 

I know the totals are not exciting, but whole point of ETN being "worth" a high pick is the efficiency meaning big plays, so lots of a yards from few touches.

JR has 289 touches last year for 4.8 yards a play. Sure that is pretty good for a RB. 

So my number are on the low side, but if could get you somewhere near 1000 yards at 10 yards a touch, that would be worth it. But I'm not sure any RB/WR hybrid has ever produced that.
