[Yoyo82]

Looks like he's had some talk with Miami lately... An undersized but really good return man...

Whats the comp here?

Jakeem Grant?

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

You can’t bring him here and not use him in the KR/PR game. I don’t feel like we let the correct guys on KR. PR I understand going with a safe option for the most part.

We haven’t had a person this shifty in a while

 

[Yoyo82]

He is really small.. be surprised if he's even 5'6'"... Jakeem ran a 4.38 40 at his pro day.. I'm not sure Jamari is that fast...

Very shifty though...

 

[Dhatguy]

A dedicated return man would be nice.

Not since Richard Gordon was back there fielding kickoffs.

He may be 5'4 but can scoot

Isn’t this what Robby Washington is for

Yes!! Like why aren’t we using Malik Curtis in the return game?

 

[JgDaCane]

Make room for 1 guy a year like this. Please!

 

[Goulds Cane]

STUD. Surprised he's getting legit interest from us though. This is the type of undersized South Florida playmaker that becomes a C-USA/MAC superstar & finds his way onto an NFL roster.

 

[reirei92]

Always down to add another playmaker to the team. Think Mario might've noticed we don't have a ton of players that can make plays with the ball in their hands.

Isaiah McKenzie type return man?

Jakeem Grant?

Trindon Holliday is a good comp IMO. Might not be as fast as Holliday but has similar size and attributes.

Would we take him and CJ Jr?

Would we take him and CJ Jr?

Why not? We got enough big guys. Why not get 2 guys who can fly.

We're definitely not in the place to turn down legit speed considering how slow we are overall. If anything let's make him a returner.
