Players like Lassiter typically sit on the back end of the depth chart for maybe a couple years before falling out of the league because their skill set is easily replaced by a slew of other players.

Normally, I'd agree, but we're coming off a Super Bowl appearance and we have so much potential and other things going on, so the fact that ESPN found it worthwhile to mention him in the punt return game is significant, IMCO.

He might be at the end of the receiving depth chart, but the punt returns are where I mentioned him, and it's possible he could make a splash play or two receiving if given the opportunity.
