What's the chances of Shep being primary kickoff returner?
10

Not sure he could take the wallops, but I have been wondering why they haven't used him on returns in some way.

It's OBJ, Turner, and TM7 per poster that was at spring practices.

I think he would be an absolutely electric returner...only problem is that he doesn't have the best hands...he would muff one every once in a while and that will get you in Les' doghouse with quickness...

I'd like to see it. I'm still hanging on to hope that Rs will have a great year.

"Primary" kick returner --- 0.00% chance.
Why? Too "fragile" and likely to fumble when hit.
He is one of those guys that "is great in space" --- kickoff returns is not "in space" it's more like in chaos or traffic ... or both. A tough upfield runner with and eye for the "gab" is what you need --- and that's just not RS - simple as that.

no chance, and fumbles are the reason. Shep fumbled a couple times very early his freshman year and I think that put him behind the 8-ball with Miles. And he doesn't have great hands. As others have said, he's a great athlete, but unfortunately not a good football player at this level.

Not sure how many kick returns we are gonna get with the new stupid kickoff rules.

I'd just like to see Rusty get the ball more in general. Seeing as OBJ is going to get more catches at WR than him. But I got a feeling he would get blasted on kickoff returns. Poor Rusty.

OBJ is going to be our primary kick returner so none
OBJ will be a stud returner
OBJ will be a stud returner
