Keep in mind that if you have his speed and quickness, you don't expect to be tackled much. Hell, not even touch if we are being honest. Bottom line, I'd be surprised if he takes more than half a dozen hits a game.
they know when to go down early of run out of bounds.. kind of lie a QB seeing big sack coming early they go down..

Its not like he was on the field THAT much. Not like a full time starting lineman, etc. Should be ok. and once again he is not going to be in that many plays with us.

If all works out, he's a punt returner and maybe kickoff returner. I don't think he'll have to worry about much beyond that...

I'd be shocked if he took more than three solid hits in any given game -- of course, a lot depends on how much action he gets! ;)

I'm, roughly, picturing he'll get a few punt returns and perhaps a few slot touches, as well.

That's a modest degree of action, at best. I think he'll likely be able to survive very nicely.

If he can handle those two jobs effectively that’s plenty
But I think he can be used in offensive sets too

Good signing. Will make PS games more interesting on PR's now.
Instead of throwing players out there that have no real shot to make the 53. Like they over used Lance Lenoir, we have a player that can make it as a legit PR, and get him in open space on offense. Such as they need to do with Pollard.

If he's being held up by one player, another player is going to take a shot. Hopefully he's elusive to that, the way Emmitt was.

We don’t have a true slot guy if lamb isn’t outside
He should be able to help there but he’s a really good return guy
Curious who it means isn’t gonna be around soon
The NFL is trending towards bigger WRs in the slot.

Guys like CeeDee Lamb (6-2, 200).
