Just Want A Title Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Jamal Agnew has been a revelation as a kick returner. He is listed as a CB but with his speed and shiftiness I think he would make an awesome slot WR. His speed would create serious mismatches with most slot CBs and most edge CBs. His speed would be a problem for just about any safety. I would love to see this happen. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 what would become of Kenny Golladay? This may not be a bad idea, but I assumed Detroit already has their slot WR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 We have no idea what he offers as a defensive back yet, and we also have no idea if he'd be able to run effective routes. Right now he does one thing on offense: go in motion and either take a handoff, decoy taking a handoff, or run directly into the flat for a pass. His speed and athleticism won't help him at slot WR if he can't run routes and grasp the offense. I'd be just as happy to see him worked into the DB rotation as a nickel or dime back. Diggs will probably stay at safety, so another athletic CB is definitely needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nnivolcm Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Historically, it always seems that once these dynamic returners start playing significant time on offense, they always seem to lose their effectiveness as a returner. Agnew is a dynamic weapon as a return man. I'd like him to stay that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardlionfan Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I like Jones, Tate and Golladay. I think Agnew fills an important role extremely well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m good with him coming out here and there for a few plays but I wouldn’t make it a habit unless he shows tremendous route running ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep him sharp and effective as a returner where he can MOSTLY effect the out come of a game vs just being one of many WR's who depend on targets for effectiveness, especially slot WR which every WR/TE/RB on this roster could play.
