    We need guys to return both punts and kicks.

    Seems like he'll make the team and at least be a starting kick returner. Probably punts too.

    IMO that's not bad for a 4th rounder.

    I doubt he sees many targets...this year at least.

    Ok, so I haven't said squat about any draft picks to this point because clearly some of you are the smartest men on the planet but let me tell you a story.

    As some of you may know, my family are season ticket holders to the Iowa Hawkeyes. We were at the game against Michigan State and they were punting from their own end. Maybe the ten or fifteen yard line. Right when the punter kicked it, I said to my wife "he's returning this one". And he did.

    This kid is electric. Cooper Dejean was a better all around athlete but this dude is a better returner. Every f**king time he touches the ball he makes something happen. Maybe it's a wasted pick. Who knows but if he can at the very least change field position then as a 4th round pick he's absolutely worth it

    Must have been the black and gold uniform in his highlights that screamed "Steeler!!" to Kahn....

    Nice to have inside info! Thanks.

    It would be great if we could have good returns. Seems like something we've been missing for a while (since AB?)

    Is Mike McCarthy a good guitar player?

    Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty-two Guitar cases in Nashville
    And any one that unpacks his guitar could play Twice as better than Mike McCarthy will

    Cobb was a heckuva a return guy early in his career. Then he grew from a gadget role to critical cog on offense.

    I don’t know if Mike plays guitar, but I do know Kayden Wetjen is the best return man in college football. He could plug the leaks in the Steelers abysmal, bottom-of-the-barrel return unit and possibly even win us a few games. That is worth a 4th imo

    There were better prospects at almost every slot we picked at if you look at the board, too many were taken too early.

    12 picks and they came away with 1 player who wasn't a reach or developmental, or both.

    This kid is electric with the ball in his hands. He's one of those guys that just looks like he is going to return every kick for a touchdown! We already know what he can do in the return game. Now let's see if he can improve his receiving skills while the coaching staff finds ways to put him in position to make plays on WR screens and get creative with how they can get the ball into his hands in space.
