If he can only return punts, he won't make the team. But if he can be that "change of pace" back to Portis, he has a shot. He had a pretty good average in the CFL but it doesn't look like he had that many rushes each year. We had a rb in camp a couple of years ago from the CFL, Jesse something I think, he was great in the CFL....didn't make it past preseason with us. I'll take the seat Matty. I don't care what the cost. Just send the bill to 44ever, he's LOADED!

Yep. That's the guy. Pretty good sized dude from what I remember. I was pulling for him.

The skins have made a ton of these tiny moves and they're usually stupid. however a new punt returner would be cool.it would also make a lot more sense to throw all of the players on the team we have moss, thomas, hall back there and see how they do cause none of them could possibley do worse then ARE. then give the job to whoevers good at it because these guys are already fast and can play in the nfl. that would also be an amazingly progressive solution.
