If we don't use him on KO returns then is that not limiting his touches and ability to make splash plays??...i.e the whole reason for drafting him? 

He's a #9 selection - runs 4.2 - and has returned KO's for TDs.....he's not our WR1, our TE when fit is typically our primary red zone threat, we still have Boyd/LaFell who will get a lot of snaps.   I say get him the ball in his hands any which way you can.

If we are that worried about him being an injury risk that we are going to protect him from KO's then you sure as hell should not draft him at #9.....first time he goes across the middle .vs. Shazier he's going to see contact , can't protect him from that

I would understand this a bit if Erickson was a bad Returner but he lead the NFL in Kick return yards last year.

Erickson ain't no punk, give the guy a chance.
