Yall are being way too hard on this kid. Not only is he a rookie, he's only played 6 games with 13 total returns. So Tate gets 5 years and Erikson gets 13 touches before judgement comes raining down?
Like I said.
Way too early to call the kid a failure. Some were just dying to call out all the Tater haters, and jumped the gun to do so.
Fwiw, Erickson is now averaging 31.3 per kickoff return. I can't remember the last Bengals return guy to average over 30.
EDIT: Just looked it up and Adam Jones averaged 31.3 (a career high) in 2014. I can't think of anyone else though.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
