He was an excellent returner in college, and was billed as being able to easily transition into that role in the NFL. I can understand not initially wanting to use him there, with him being such a high pick. At that point you're banking on him being in a major role in the offense, and wouldn't want to lose him to a Special Teams injury.

But now? He's slid further down the depth chart, and his long-term prospects here are greatly in question. So why not use his strengths to get him some added touches? I really don't think Alex Erickson is good enough to roster on his punt returning ability alone, and he offers nothing in the pass game on this roster. I'd give Ross the PR job, and cut Erickson.

The player many people compared John Ross to when he came out was Desean Jackson. It would be a shame to just let a potential ST threat go completely unused for all 4 years.

Beyond false, but that's fine.

I'm not saying he a world-beater or that he's even a lock to make the team, but Erickson has proven that he belongs in the league, with precise routes, great agility and excellent hands.

Furthermore, he was a former QB (not half bad either), thus he can be used for 1 play a game on reverses/throws/gadgets/etc. I hate those plays and they don't always work, but the threat of someone on your team who CAN do that, is valuable, even if only a little bit.

People forget that his only TD of his career, he beat Bradley Roby WHILE LINED UP OUTSIDE; no slot, no picks or rubs, just pure speed and beating his man with timing and skills.

He should remain on this team for the next 5 years, as the last receiver on the roster.

Most of us took it that way as well (pretty obvious).
