Special teamer I'm guessing.

First Team All Big 12 as a return specialist. I think we're just going to put a half-dozen guys back there to receive kicks and make the other team have to decide on the fly what we're doing. A little outside the box, but I like that.
Interesting pick but I trust JS and MM

Yep. Good gunner and returner. Former RB. Not much production (Senior with only one year of notable production, transferred from Alabama) but some upside in his versatility.

Thought we’d go Caldwell but oh well

Hedging their bets that Tory Horton isn’t ready come September?

When I saw your name was the last to comment in this thread, I assumed you'd be excited.

With Shaheed getting paid I assume he won’t be our main returner this year unless nothing else pans out. Those are big shoes to fill.

People are saying special teams and sure, but why not in a 4 wide situation? He has 4.44 speed and can force the defense to spread out, allowing JSN a little extra room sounds awesome!
His description on ESPN talks about how he dropped 4 passes last year like that's a bad thing. DK dropped a ball every game and he just got a nice contract from the Steelers

Great athlete, good speed, has a little Amon Ra St. Brown in him. Converted running back who only played one full season as a WR, so there's potential there.

Former RB, one productive year at WR.
Small hands & 8% drop rate not huge worry but needs to be addressed along with building route tree. Dangerous deep and KR/PR, potential ST star. Nice fit at #5, #6, Horton insurance.

He's Dareke Young's replacement.
That's what I'm getting here.

Getting a special teams guy yiu want him to also contribute in other ways and if he turns into a great receiver it’s a bonus.

Oh of course I like Jayhawks on the team. And he was good. Caldwell is just unique.
Exactly my thoughts.
My guess is he won’t be returning kicks, AND will be playing a bigger role in the passing game.
