Re: Return man needed? (another Devin Hester is out there)
I am not saying this guy couldn't be a great return man, but I do not see him being another Devin Hester. Hester has runs a 40 around the 4.35 range, and Robinson is about a 4.5 type of guy.

Re: Return man needed? (another Devin Hester is out there)
Devin Hester is bordering on being a hall of famer after the last two years. It's a bit fruitless to look for the same kind of guy. We might find another Micheal Lewis or something comparable, which would be more than serviceable. But Devin Hester is a unique player in this league.

@ Missle and Sapper: You two are the biggest homers ever. I just wanted to get that off my chest.
About the return man: Leodis McKelvin is the real deal. First Team AA for returns, led the nation in return yards and he's got shut-down man-to-man corner back potential. He is from Troy, though. I hope that's not too small of a school. |

... does he come with the same Bear blocking scheme and execution that Hester benefits from?

Great return guys find openings when it seems there are none. It takes a special talent to be a great one....maybe thats why they call it SPECIAL TEAMS. Kevin Robinson has that special talent.
