Is Erickson undervalued?

I don't see what that has to do with Erickson...

You stated that he can't get separation or beat anyone until a play breaks down; there he beat BRADLEY ROBY, right at the snap and ran right by him with a precise (albeit simple) route.

So yeah:

Erickson looks like a solid backup slot and return guy.

It's that particular roster spot that seems to be undervalued here. I think Erickson fills that spot well, but I'm not expecting him to supplant AJ, Ross, or Boyd.

Exactly. A role player to the extreme, but could definitely be utilized more and more effectively, within that role.
