Should be giving both Ross and Mixon reps at PR, as both were primarily KR in college.
Mixon had 5 PR attempts and 22 KR.
Ross had 4 PR attempts and 86 KR.
Brandon Wilson also has no PR experience (0 PR, 44 KR).

I think PR experience is what could keep Erickson on this team. He actually only had 2 KR attempts in college, so KR was pretty new to him last year. He ended up doing pretty well at KR last year, so I think KR is easier to grasp than PR.

A player I would like to see get some PR opportunities who actually does have PR experience is Tyler Boyd (27 PR for 238 yds and 1 TD - 8.8 YPR).
Not only do I think Boyd could be a solid PR in the NFL, but it would give him more opportunities to help the team and earn that 2nd round draft status.
