a older guy would just retard the younger guys in my opinion. i would never knee jerk and give up a pick for a guy when you do not know if you need him.. i can just see us doing what you want and then when one of the younger guys steps up. people will b***h cuz trent wasted a draft pick on a old man i would much rather give the kids a shot before i bring in a old vet. you have to display faith in your own players for goodness sake

Would you take Tom Brady right now or let Driskel and Thad compete it out ?

lol. we are not the pats and its not the same thing.. if this were 2011 or 2012 we would be set with gin but you have to get used to it. that was then.. this is now

If he gets cut bring him in...his cap hit is $4.5 million which is a ton for a 32 COP back and PR IMO (plus giving up a draft pick for most likely a one yr player).

Kelly said Ellington, White, Smelter, DuJuan Harris and Bryce Treggs are working on punt returns in OTAs.

Ellington sucks we know that and I dont know if Smelter or Harris has even done it before. WhoTF is Treggs?

We going for the single season fair catch record.

Ellington with 7th in the league in yards last year

We need a PR not a KR IMO.

Easy to be top10 in kickoff return yards when the defense gives up TDs and FGs like a bottom 5 defense.

I looked up average per return and Ellington is 9th in the league (kickoff return). That's not bad.

On PRs, Ellington seems to have good ball security, which is what I put most emphasis on. I think he had one muff last season. I'd rather have the sure handed guy that might fair catch too often, over the guy that will occasionally muff/fumble and occasionally make a nice return.

His problem is he always has these nagging injuries.

And weren't there reports he is out of shape in the past? Anyway, if the defense forces punts I'll be happy. Any punt return yardage is the cherry on top of the gravy.

When asked about the skill sets of his players, Kelly stated that they just want talented players. "Our job as coaches is to maximize their strengths and put them in the best position to make plays," said Kelly.

The competition for returners on special teams will include WR Bruce Ellington, WR DeAndrew White, WR DeAndre Smelter, RB DuJuan Harris, and WR Bryce Treggs.
