It's physically impossible to both catch punts and be explosive as a return man. Study the science.What's with this idea that a more explosive guy is somehow gonna be prone to muffing?
"I would rather have a secure guy back there than an explosive guy who's gonna muff punts."
WTF? LOL
Kinda like the term "possession receiver" for slow *** dudes, as if elite athletes can't catch lol
I think the idea is that you put up with a couple of drops from the elite deep speed guys, cuz they don't need to catch every one to change the game. But the 8-yard in guys better catch every one, or they aren't even going to see the field. Further, the short-route guys will almost always have someone draped all over them, making the catch tougher.
