It appears he has a lot of experience as a returner. A good option to have if Harris happens to go down. With our deep receiving core it's unlikely he'll see the field there if he's ever activated to the 53. Although he does have killer speed.

Say... I bet Dunn set an NCAA record for kickoff returns for a TD.

Just a hunch.

As an aside, the biggest offensive need going into the offseason other than a QB of the future is to upgrade team speed.

Our RBs are slow. Our WRs are slow. Our TEs are slow. We need a guy or two who can take the top off a defense.

He's playing the role of Kendall Wright from Tennessee. Red and Marinelli trying to figure out how to cover their speed.

That likely is a pretty good call...

Makes sense.

Seeing as how Clutts was on the field for a grand total of 1 play, having a FB on the practice squad seems kind of pointless in retrospect.

He sure did not last long. Surely one of our backup linebackers has the ability to play fullback in a small package if we need one THAT bad.

Hell, having one on the 53 man roster seems pointless.

We'll they have deion 2.0 on def so that side has speed at least

They said highest rated since Deion... they just didn't say at what.

Championship!!! I know it's played out lol

Maybe, but fullbacks require a pretty unique skill set.

They need to get this guy ready so he can be in the return game after we trade Harris and future picks to the Browns for Johnny Football.


Just kidding... I hope

You forgot Coakley in that trade. No trade works unless Coakley is added.

Nikita Whitlock we hardly knew you. Would rather have gotten rid of Benford.

Do they require a particular set of skills?

Can someone explain to me why Clutts is on the roster and WR Byrd was cut? Clutts being on the field for one play is ridiculous. I don't get it.
