I thought the same thing. Why do we want a 6’5″ punt returner? I would prefer Money Parks back there or Dixon for punts. You need someone with quickness and twitch. Plue Vele is crucial to our receiving success this season.
When talking punt returner Coach said it best “First priority is to catch the ball” I’m surprised every year when it comes to good wr who have problems catching punts. Personally with our Special teams, Give me someone who can catch it with defense coming in your face over someone with moves afterwards.
If that is the case then yes but shouldn’t you be able to recruit a WR or DB that has experience catching punts in high school? I just don’t like seeing a 6’5″ target out their isolated catching punts.
