It's a surprisingly popular opinion that his straight line speed overrides any other qualities beneficial to effective kick returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually used him as my test case for trying JFIII out at WR. Many NFL teams have deep threat specialists. They're often both the fastest WR and the least sure pass catcher. Sammie Coates rarely catches a ball if he's not already 20+ yards downfield. You don't have to worry about their ball security as much because if they have the ball at all, they're probably already behind the defense. If they do somehow fumble the ball, it's going to happen 30+ yards downfield, and they're only going to have a chance to do that once or twice a game at most. Low risk, high reward. But returning kicks presents a much higher risk. Those fumbles happen on the wrong side of the field. Can't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of ball skills, you can't just let someone streak down the field wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the situation, I'm not opposed to it at all! A real football person can tell me why it won't work, but can I see an RPO where the tight end releases and the holder has the option of running it, pitching it or passing it? Sure.

Just don't know if he can catch. Well that, his ball security issues, and his affinity for not wanting to be hit make him a questionable candidate at best.
