I wouldn't mind seeing Patterson drop back for a few punt and kick returns. I'm sure he isn't as fast as some of the other guys on the roster, but in watching some of his highlights there were plenty of times where he ran away from defenders. He is very elusive, protects the ball and is small enough that perhaps defenders could have a difficult time finding him behind his blockers.Ok dean let’s break it down for you . If the team keeps 6 wrs chances are the 6th wr is inactive . That leaves 5 wrs and you know 4 can be in wr sets . Now if there is an injury the wr (5) has to be able to contribute to the offense
The PR guy is the issue , you can put a RB to return kicks
Now if carter can’t contribute in the offense like Franklin or Wright he is the man hitting the pavement
so let’s relay this back to humphries , he doesn’t have a guaranteed contract , he has had injury issues so being able to field punts is a plus for him
. And could be decisive in competition from Clifford Franklin with Harmon and cam sims able to take slot snaps as well as Samuel
now humphries might be your flavor of the day but most likely he will have to drop back and field punts
and let’s not forget Franklin is a hell of a lot more explosive then humphries
i think he can do kick off returns , not sure about puntsI wouldn't mind seeing Patterson drop back for a few punt and kick returns.
