They've clearly scouted TCU this year. That's our kick returner isn't it?

My only beef is he probably was a 6th round pick. I can't be mad that we got a return specialist, because we literally didn't have one on the team. So, that may have bumped his value for us, specifically. But it feels like we could have waited.

I wanted Charlie Jones for this role...but this kid will do...and definitely like the speed and agility.

Speedster!!!! Love it. Check out that speed on the jet sweep. Damn Duggan sure throws a lot of underthrown balls.

I haven't seen this kind of pull-away speed in a long time on the Chargers... even T-Billy.

Two thumbs up. Got a day 1 contributor in round 4. He has the potential to be outstanding.
