    Great to see they are finding more ways to get him touches for next year.

    I didnt know that he would have been the #1 average yards per kickoff return man in the nation if he had a few more chances. How many do you need to qualify?

    I think he has the talent to be a starter in a year or two, if he keeps working hard and earning his reps.

    He may have the talent, but does he have the size?

    I like him right where he is, a trick play waiting to happen or a KR.

    Great article, and he really will be one of the most exciting players on the field. Good to hear his options will increase but he will never be a several down player. The odds are against him in avoiding the "big hit", and truth be told, most of us fans could probably send him flying. Despite his speed, strength, of center of gravity, he doesn't have the weight and simple math says he will get tagged eventually, and when he does, simple physics says it might hurt.

    I am sure Crowten is figuring out the proper ways to work him in the game and protect him as well. Potential game breaking runs on punt returns and kick offs should be a reality this year with him, Doucet, LaFell, and the Mitchells catching the ball. Who do you kick it to?

    Have to play in at least 75% of the games and average 1.2 KO returns per game. That would be about 12. He only had 5.

    I hope that he does not get many kickoff returns this year. One a game will be enough for me. :)

    I hope he gets a bunch of punt returns though.

    The starting what?

    He doesn't lack talent, but he's a special teams/situational player because of his size.

    Punt returns are much more dangerous for the receiver than kick offs so I expect we will see more of him on kickoffs this year.

    How big was Josh Reed? Still my favorite WR from LSU, and he could've of been bigger than 5'10".

    Anyone remember that 'Bama game when he almost went for, what was it, 300 yards?

    Reediculous! (Sorry for derailment!)

    Josh Reed also had a much bigger frame than Holiday and Holiday is almost half a foot shorter than Reed.
