But Banks did a quick juke to freeze one guy and then turned on the burners.. I'd love to see that speed on our team.

Austin also had a good return or two, but I think someone like Banks could be a game-changer. If we get 2-3 touchdowns from special teams this year, that could change those games for us. He just needs to make sure he doesn't drop the ball.. Guess we'll have to see how it goes for the next few games.

I say yes. Teams do reserve 2 or 3 spots for special-teams only players. He can be used to stretch the field on offense too. Defenses would have to respect his 50% chance of catching a pass still.
