I like what I've seen from him as a return guy, so I guess I wouldn't mind him getting a few snaps here and there as a WR. What can it hurt? I never have high hopes for these late round/undrafted WRs, but Erickson seems special to me. Kinda like a white Tom Waddle.

As he has shown on his returns, the kid has speed, and his hands are pretty good. I say put him in and see if he can do what none of the other recievers could do Sunday, and that is get separation from the coverage.

He's another Steve Largent type of player.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

We've got Core and Boyd to develop.
Erickson has just now gotten his crap together enough to be a decent returner. Let's stick with that for now.
