With Cordarrelle Patterson gone, Vikings need a new kick returner link |

I hope they don't draft specifically for a kick returner...
What is the injury rate for returners? It doesn't seem that high to me so why are teams so nervous about using regular starters to return kicks?

Not sure I see a great option on the roster. Maybe a fee agent wr with some experience would work. Not sure who that is but we need wr depth and this could fill both needs.

Jalen Myrick would be a good choice if he's there on day 3.

I don't know...but let me know if it's going to be me....I need to find my cleats from high school and lose a few...tens of pounds.  My guess would be McKinnon or Sherels with those on the team already...maybe even Diggs. We'll see who we draft though. |

MoBo!!!! Dedicating himself to special teams is probably the best shot MoBo has at sticking with the team. It would be sweet to have another freak athlete to handle kickoff and gunner duties. Who knows,maybe becoming a special teams ace (ala Thielen) gives him the time he needs to develop as a WR. |

Just throwin' it out there that Mixon has decent kick-return abilities, as both a kickoff and punt returner. During the 2016 season at Oklahoma, Mixon returned 21 kickoffs for 494 yds (23.5 avg) with 1 TD. While that's not stellar or outstanding, he does have the ability and with McKinnon and Murray both potentially getting the lion's share of the carries in 2017 (barring injuries), it would be a way to involve Mixon's athleticism and open-field talents until he can work his way into the offense.

Ham.
He's used to handling the ball and he doesn't fold on contact. He has the size needed for taking hits... Diggs and Mckinnon will not make a 16 game season as a returner. And i don't want Diggs injured by some packer cheap shot fuckhead...
Sherels is another good pick too.
