Anthony Swartz could win the kick returner job
-
Felton is a slight guy also. If we keep D'Ernest (which I doubt) then just keep him doing the KO return duties. The last resort is to catch it and attempt a return. They'll be an illegal block and you'll start from inside the 10. Play for the touchback.
The little guys can do the punt returns.....so that we don't have to put Landry back there. (Peoples-Jones scares me when he's getting under a kicked ball)

DPJ I don’t believe muffed a punt all year. I had my doubts with him too.
Rule Number 1 with Punt Return secure the ball, #2 secure field position and #3 everything else is gravvy.
And Kickoff returns are a darn near extinct practice.

5'9, 189 is "slight"? Certainly not compared to 6'0, 185.
And he returned kicks for UCLA... https://uclabruins.com/sports/football/roster/demetric-felton/9945
Pretty good at it to boot...
DPJ I don’t believe muffed a punt all year. I had my doubts with him too.
He's OK-ish... just lacks the quicks to be a threat. That is what Schwartz would bring to the field.
If I see Hunt returning kicks in anything other than a postseason game, I'm gonna lose my shit.
Well... we simply can't have that...

While I'm wondering - I wonder if Scwartz will eventually play a role in the additions/tweak to the offense that
Hooper is excited about. At least once in a while a game.

Troy Smith, future heisman trophy winner, returned kicks for OSU his freshman year.
In honor of that, I say it's time to show off Case Keenum's agility in space.
Release the Keenum!

How many kicks do kick returners return. Sounds like a woodchuck deal.
As for Schwartz play time, I see a fairly good amount. I think we will try to establish him as a deep threat early in the season. If we do that, teams will have to roll a safety over to his side or play corners off the LOS far enough that we could pitch and catch with him 6-7 yards at a time right down the field.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

But late? I can see him getting his fair share of work.

DB's have to respect your route tree for you to be an honest deep threat. Otherwise you're just... Mike Wallace, maybe Corey Coleman. It isn't as simple as "he fast, he deep". Otherwise John Ross would be one of the most feared weapons in the NFL.

Funny enough, I remember him fielding a kick against Wisconsin and thinking to myself "who?!?"

With OBJ, Landry, Higgins and DPJ on the roster, along with three TEs who all can contribute in the passing game?

So in other words, what damn near everyone has been saying since we watched Jarvis' slow ass take that tap pass against KC.

Why not? And when I say play, I know he won't start, but I could see him on the field 10-15 plays a game.

I know it is more than simply streaking straight down the sideline. I have read he has a good understand of such. Is there evidence he can't run good routes?
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

True. But if the returner is good, most kickers try to kick it out of the endzone, and most can a high percentage of the time.

Yes - basically every game of his this past season. Why do you think Landry was so intent on working with him early?
Trust me, his footwork is...very raw.

The fact Landry was working with the kid tells me he (Landry) likes the kid's attitude/potential & I don't see Landry endorsing him for nothing.We, as Fans, need patience.

Except the stats I posted, which were percentage of kickoffs returned, say that is simply not the case.

And I believe the earliest lesson was that you cannot/ must not run every route at top speed.

In terms of just attempting to win at the line or setup your routes by just hauling ass? Sure, absolutely. But regardless off the route, you want to get in and out of your breaks at speed. Nobody wants a receiver to break a route off slowly.
