FinneasGage Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) i anticipate this fellow is used mostly on return duties and maybe some offensive snaps. chiefs were primarily using him on offense in camp from what i've read.

OneTwoSixFive Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Verified by Rob Demovsky. The Packers have claimed CB Tremon Smith off waivers from the Chiefs. A sixth-round pick in 2018, he played in 14 games as a rookie and in the season opener this year before he was released last week. He played just 74 snaps on defense last season and the Chiefs experimented with moving to running back this offseason before he returned to defense. He played mostly on special teams last year and averaged 26.8 yards on 33 kickoff returns. Rob Demovsky, ESPN Staff Writer16m ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this to say, I totally agree and am curious to see what they do with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas492 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Getting ready to trade Trevor Davis and a second for Minkah..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrILL! Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 He’ll be gone in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdown Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Good addition, he's a solid kickoff returner (he doesn't return punts). If they put him right in, that'll help save Davis' legs for more receiver duty. Davis runs 2-3 times further than any other receiver every game. Adams, Davis and MVS would be a lethal combination at receiver. Add Kumerow when we need 4, and we're going places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathstar Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 He’s another roster addition that was a draft pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman5252 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) My gut says Gute has a draftable grade on him and thought he’d get claimed. This could easily just be a 1 week trial at returner, since it doesn’t sound like he knows how to play anything else.

Pugger Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Let's hope he is better at returns that Davis is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 from twitter Tremon Smith also returned punts at Central Arkansas. 39 total punt returns. Returned one 65 yards for a TD. So he could replace Trevor Davis at both KR and PR, if need be Tremon Smith averaged 26.9 yards per KOR for the #Chiefs last year, which ranked 4th in the NFL, so #Packers felt good about that. Possibly means WR Darrius Shepherd is ready to return from hamstring injury and will be used Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do kick return stats even matter anymore, though? It seems likeI've watched entire games in which nobody returns a kickoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
