And his deal doesn't look that bad in comparison to some of the deals players got this offseason.

It's not about yards, it's about yards per attempt.
Rock is not explosive, and I feel like we could have had the league leader if we had someone explosive back there. Rock is not even close to our fastest player...he's no burner, and he's not amazingly ellusive. We as skins fans overrate him as a KR because he's so small and he has heart.
