Interesting read on Devin White and special teams

From Dandy Don: Devin White talked about some of the young 5- and 4-star prospects not wanting to play special teams. They had to tell them White, Jarvis Landry, Russell Gage, and Duke Riley all did it and benefitted from it.
• White also said he’s been advocating for being on the kickoff team for two reasons: 1) To show the young guys that even he is willing to be on special teams and that 2) “Those tackles count, too.” Get this: White also joked that one way the offense could improve would be to “Give Devin White carries at running back.” He said he’d love to be LSU’s wildcat RB.
I'm not an O pumper but this shows it's a lot more than just on him. Prima donnas thinking they're too good to play special teams.

That’s alarming...unfortunately, it’s not the first thing that has been alarming in the last couple of weeks...
I fear the game day suspension report...expect we will clearly know then why Fehoko was moved inside.
Hope to Hell im wrong and Alexander and Shelvin eat!

Young guys not wanting to play special teams? I'm sort of starting to wonder about the culture inside that building.

It’s the culture everywhere now

Hell yeah, it's a way to get on the field as early as possible.

New fair catch rule on kickoffs will basically kill kickoff returns IMO.
Will be interesting to see how teams play it from both a kickoff and kickoff return perspective.
For the those that don't know...you can call for a fair catch anywhere inside the 25 yard line and if caught securely you get the ball at the 25 yard line.

Players who are good returners still return it from the end zone and that gets them to the 25. Those players will still return it from the 5 or 10.
But yeah, what's going to happen is coaches will put a "hands team" on kickoff returns instead of electric athletes. This will secure a spot at the 25.
