I was excited to see Devon Allen return kicks on Monday as we haven’t had a thrilling returner since Brian Mitchell (2000-02). Sure, DeSean Jackson and Brian Westbrook had huge punt returns for TDs...
I’m not asking for a touchdown on every return but I am looking for some excitement. I’m looking for someone who can change games for us! Enter Devon Allen, a world class sprinter who broke a huge return in preseason. Sure, it’s rare to have an actual kickoff return these days but if he did well last night as the kick returner, maybe he could take over punt return duties and we’d have our guy. There was only one problem with my plan…Britain f***in’ Covey.
