You said it "blocks" . Yes any kick returner needs good blocks
To get good yardage. But sometimes the perfect blocking or lack of blocks isn't going to be there
Erickson needs blocks to get any kind of yardage
But the laser fast returners with great start atop ability
Can even get positive yards with a block or 2.
Erickson gets caught from behind and lacks the Jets to smoke guys

An yet he's constantly in the top tier of returners.... hey, if someone better comes along, sign them up. But the Adam Jones' of the world don't grown on trees.
