From his highlights, he seems to have great vision and what is known as "game speed". If he catches the ball, makes the first man miss, runs for 20 yards and then is caught and tackled, I'll be more than satisfied. If he does more than that, I'll be thrilled!

But he can't do anything unless he is given the chance. You'd think that with our ST's being as bad as they are, that the coaches might want to try someone different as a punt returner. I just hope they give Nick a try against the Eagles.
