SloMotion.

I hadn't heard from him in a while either. Hope all is well.

I hear you J however his solid production in practice/training camp never translated over into actual games. For 2018, he ranked 57th (Hill & Kamara had higher averages) on kick/punt return duty.

Ultimately the lack of game changing ability may have forced his hand in New Orleans. Saints coaches gave him a solid 2 years.

IMO Brandon Tate had a better camp & earned that final 53 roster spot.

Good luck to him, I hope he does well!

He might not have muffed punts but he was not a game changer at anything. He was taking a roster spot that could have gone elsewhere. I wish him well and I hope he makes it but I have my doubts. I liked his story but not his lack of production. Good luck and thank you. Bring a jacket....it's cold up there.
