I thought so too until we signed DeAndre Carter lol

[@jimringomartin]

Yeah, if Velus can learn to catch...

[@chuckwu3083]

and not fumble

[@johnlewandoski1645]

And not cough it up because a defender is in front of him

I Love The New NFL Kickoff Rules

[@AlienXpress99]

Rules skewed to fit kick off players is absurd. Velus can’t catch. I’m glad poles signed Carter. Boot velus

[@Mike-jv4rz]

If he could learn to judge the path of the ball and secure it he'd be ok....

[@AkamatsuCreative]

Obsessing on Velus's bad rookie season as a punt returner is so stupid to me. Glad some in the media are finally realizing there's more to the dude than a poor rookie season thrown under the gun of NFL punt returns. He was more of a kick returner in college, than punts. The Velus mockery and slander has gone unnecessarily far.

The rules doesn’t require

[@thevoxdeus]

The new rules don't require functional hands?

[@Vortex1988]

They realize we just signed a new return man, right?
