Interesting.
It will be interesting to see if he actually makes the roster. He doesn't have much time to practice, so they'll likely just stick him in some KR situations in some of the preseason games and see what happens.

I think the signing has kick returner written all over it

I would enjoy watching him in screen situations, similar to previous schemes with welker

This could really help the kick return game which has been a pet peeve of mine for the Pats for quite some time.

Who was the last decent KR they had?  Bethel Johnson?  Meggett?

Brandon Tate a couple years ago, had a couple TDs and a 25.8/return average.  He did tail off a bit later in the year, but he was really good for a while.

Should be interesting.  I like the signing, but I wonder if he sticks.  I'm all for keeping him over one of the FBs who will never play (not RB, FB) though.
