I think he has a lot of light on him and he just wants to tone it down so he can focus. In addition, his statements encourage other teammates. He seems like a good kid who is grounded and knows he can't learn this overnight. He may feel all the hype make him fell like he has to break a long one and score a few times a game. That can create a huge challenge on the confidence of a kid who hasn't performed at the NFL level yet and might feel like he is being asked to be the answer. I think it was a good article and appreciate SHR for sharing. This kid will be what we all think he will be in time. He just needs to settle in and learn the speed of the NFL.

I am with you 100% on the kickoff and punt returns.  I'm sorry, but Erickson has to make this team.  Should he get injured, then you find a solution, but right now, I don't want to risk an injury on a stupid preseason game.
