Scouting Report
A multi-purpose athlete, he brought value to a football team in several areas. Found a real niche as an elusive kick returner early on in his NFL career. Could also line up at wide receiver as a depth option, and even played a little safety at times. However, he was mostly a terrific special teams player, captain and leader on and off the football field. Was somewhat limited as a wide receiver, so he rarely played when the offense was on the field.
Long Range Potential: Energetic special teams captain, leader and depth wide receiver.
