Deonte Harris could be the best returner of all time.

Forgive me, but this isn’t hyperbole. Yesterday he averaged 14.75yds per punt return. That’s an absolutely insane stat, and many will dismiss it as a one off, but look at his average last year, 9.4yds per return as a rookie. It’s not inconceivable that he average 10.5yds a return, not to mention his utilization on offense.

Jeff Ireland is a fricking wizard.

He’s incredible. Seemed like for the longest time, we were legit happy to get any positive return yards.

What he did yesterday was super impressive.

Really want to get him involved in some quick screen passes on offense. Dude is fast as hell.

I hope you are right and i hope you are wrong.

Really would be great to have an established returner and be set for years

On the other hand. He looks too good to be pigeonholed to that role. The more comfortable he gets in the offense they may phase him off of that

His size/shiftiness reminds me a lot of Dante Hall.

His patience on those returns were what was really impressive. He waited for his blockers to get set up, then hit the jets. He will make a game changing play that wins us a game this year.

Devin Hester... but Deonte is very good, and as he even further acclimates to the speed and nuance of the NFL, he'll get up there, but Hester was on a whole 'nother level....

Electric. He can be a superstar as long as he eliminates the mistakes and fumbles. With a year's experience, he looked much more comfortable yesterday.

He will never be able to hold the same place in my heart as The Beer Man, though.

Agreed. He creates excitement every time he receives a punt. Especially when he catches it on the run.
