This one seems weird to me. Basically a backup to Etienne 

You mentioning this makes me feel better about it lol. I figured maybe it means that the kick return game wasn’t doing well and they were trying him out there. But a backup to someone who’s gonna have plays schemed up just for him isn’t terrible, especially just to make sure that everyone can run those concepts.

Yeah. Quite frankly, it’d be pretty smart to have a guy kicking around who can at least kinda stand-in for those sort of concepts through camp-preseason workload. You can’t have Etn doing it all himself, but you still want to be able to evaluate other personnel in those sort of situations for other depth roles and stuff. If it’s going to be as significant a part of the offense as a 1st round pick premium would insinuate. 
 

Also doesn’t hurt to have a guy kicking around who is familiar with the concepts, that you can float on/off the roster in-season if he were to get banged up and even just need a limited practice schedule some weeks.

 

At least hopefully that’s the reasoning. And not just Urban being infatuated with the phenomenal weapon Tavon Austin was in college and thinking that’ll apply here for some reason. Lol.
