Detroit
where average Saints players go to die

I am ecstatic about this move

Now we need a second string punt returner... Good luck Tommy.

I never had a problem with the guy. It's not like he was any worse than anyone else on PR duty. At least he never muffed punts.

This. And he did make some clutch plays at receiver when called upon. There really aren’t very many good punt PR guys around the NFL these days. If they are good they are usually to valuable at another position to risk returning punts.

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.
