Yeah this sucks... First off did even return kicks for us? Not many if he did. I don't see why they'd have him back there to begin with that's not his thing. He doesn't have the hands/quick twitchy attributes I would think most returners do.
It just seems dumb to have him back there at all so once he fails at it they can pile on him. Dude is a traditional RB use him as such.

This just goes to show how insanely huge the talent gaps are going from college to NFL ball. Football players are completely screwed compared to other sports because there's no feeder leagues. You have Canadian ball, but nobody takes that route anymore anymore and has success. You're either top 32 at your position or you ain't.
Even with baseball they have 4 main levels before the bigs and 99 percent of them don't make it past the first one.

I don't think he gets cut. He was a third round pick and they aren't going to want to give up on him that easily.
What sucks is they changed the kickoff rules in the offseason (again). He should have known but I can understand his confusion. He'd better make sure he gets that buttoned up or he will be looking for a new place to play.

Thanks. That's what I couldn't remember was 2-3 yrs ago and if he may have done some of it. Obviously Wetjen had last yr. I'm still surprise the Steelers have him doing that. It doesn't feel like his thing to be doing as a rookie in the NFL.Kaleb Johnson had 15 kickoff returns at Iowa for 26.8 per return. Thirteen in his first season, two in his second.
