Simmons, as the ST's coach, has a ton of say in who they keep as the 4 and 5 WR. The #6 is traditionally a developmental player who only dresses in case of injury. Ross and Mixon are unlikely to be utilized full time on return duty, and will likely only be used when the team is looking for a big play.
Green, Boyd, and Ross are locks. LaFell is a virtual lock unless he has a very poor camp and preseason and a bubble player steps up huge. Erickson has the inside track on the #5 spot as the primary returner. Malone is pretty much a lock unless he has a complete disaster in camp. Core will likely go to the PS, as he still has eligibility. He's also far more likely to clear waivers than Erickson because a team in need of a returner will snag Erickson in a heartbeat.
I completely disagree. They didn't comment on all of the rookies ability to return for no reason. Erickson is fighting for a roster spot big time. Hard to justify a guy who's major quality is returning when we got guys that bring far more as a WR, but also we have guys who can cover the return duties.
