Why You Put an Olympic Sprinter on Kick Return 😂

77 Yard Kick off return after fumbling and almost getting tackled inside the 20... dumb luck can't explain everything this was a miracle

[@deanfirnatine7814]

Devon Allen deserves every success in the world after being robbed last year in the World Championships, worst officials call in the history of track & field.

Now that's how you don't show a kick off return properly.

[@Heretowatchstuff]

I remember watching Deon Sanders drop back to return his first punt in the NFL. He dropped it, picked it up and ran it untouched to the end zone.

[@deanfirnatine7814]

Sanders was a all American sprinter if I recall

[@Ghoster311]

@@deanfirnatine7814Deion ran 10.26 +0.6 and Devon’s pb is 10.20 +1.8. So pretty much even. Deion wasn’t a track athlete though. If he had run throughout college he could have done significantly better.

[@ggmorn]

dropped punts always remind me of desean jacksons miracle in the meadowland

[@sterlingwilliams8645]

I wouldn’t say untouched, dude broke like 3 tackles otw to the end zone lol

No, he was just that fast! :p

[@BDW31983]

I like the part where you blurred the kick return almost as much as the part when you didnt show the last half of it! AWESOME VIDEO

[@duckalternate7645]

Horrible editing

[@ericstandefer9138]

Why would you blur the middle of his run?

[@sneakerfacevids441]

He should have made the team last year ! He was clearly better than Brittain Covey, last years returner. He was spectacular in the preseason last year, first down the field on special teams, and he did catch a long bomb for a TD in his limited time on the field. I really hope he makes the team, he could be the new DeSean Jackson !

[@gbg_siah]

So you're telling me all this time I thought they were the same person and I thought Brittain Covey was the Olympic sprinter? I remember us signing him a couple years ago I never knew his name, but I thought he was Covey because he was returning kicks for us and they look somewhat similar. But yeah I think he definelty deserves more pt

[@jamesmccoy4793]

Just so long as he doesn't take a knee or spike the ball on the one yard line.

[@macpike7483]

Who?

[@SeraphsWitness]

Idk man, Covey is making serious plays this year.

[@sneakerfacevids441]

@@SeraphsWitness Well, since my comment 4 months ago, Covey has broken a couple returns for 50 yard or so and I now understand what he adds to the team. On a side note, when I was thinking “Covey adds nothing,” I googled him to see his background. Interestingly, his grandfather, Stephen Covey, is a famous author who wrote the well known self-help book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” Britain Covey has been a highly effective punt return !

[@-scrim]

Devon is such a king. The fact that they haven't been using him more is crazy.

[@nathancampbell8637]

I mean, if you muff it into the end zone, you can just recover for a touchback. Kind of a quirky rule since it applies even if the muff occurred past the end zone

[@c0r3k1d3]

Clearly in this situation, he was better off not doing that. Although, it's just hindsight.

[@nathancampbell8637]

Of course. I was just mentioning because it isn't the end of the world to muff it in that spot. Like obviously any muff isn't ideal, but if you are gonna do it, do it somewhere where you can get a touchback out of it.

[@deepcosmiclove]

It's only a touchback if the momentum of the kick itself carries the ball into the endzone.

[@WhoGitDaBiscuit]

[@jonathonburch6157]

He went to Brophy College Preparatory in AZ, I go there now and he often comes back to do quick sessions with us track and football athletes. He and Isaiah Oliver, another Brophy student in the NFL, hold nearly every track record at my school.

[@jeffreystieve8017]

The return did NOT go to the red zone. That is inside the 20, even if there was a penalty, the return was outside of the 20..

[@SeraphsWitness]

Now they have Britain Covey who might actually be better, if at all possible. Brought on specifically for his punt return ability. That dude is a stud.

[@wwgbert]

How cool would that be for Isaac Punts to have a Monday segment on the Pat MacFee Show breaking down all of the "worthy" punts of the week that was.

[@superbear617]

Well, some times when a kick is dropped, it throws off the timing of the cover team and creates opportunities for the receiver.

[@samwhite9958]

Good job, blurred out the best part of the video!

[@nagulafam4367]

This happened to Deion Sanders, he fumbled it and returned it for a TD. Allen is in good company.

[@joe1071]

Yo when you got that much open field you hit the corner with afterburners and TD, wtf was he thinking

[@rushmanandtucker762]

I wonder what the odds are on that strange phenomenon? 🤔 Seems to me more than a few temporarily muffed kick returns go for long gains and TDs. Having only played the sandlot version of the game with the least amount of organization. I do know that when a defender sees the fumble staying in his lane is, for an instant, is forgotten. There’s like a stutter step that happens to the whole team.

[@stepheneickhoff4953]

Desean Jackson's famous "Miracle at the New Meadowlands" punt return was like that.

[@OKOKOKOKOKOKOK-zn2fy]

When you muff the kick return on the goal line, the adrenaline really gets pumping. Adrenaline is like rocket fuel for your muscles and football players have big muscles. For the next 20 seconds, you are Superman's big brother.

85 will still be on the squad. He did more than most "tackle" attempts in the NFL by actually wrapping up

[@user-ms6jp3xd3b]

Honestly dropping the punt is sometimes good, it misdirects the gunners and a lot of dropped punts end up to be scores

[@SeraphsWitness]

I was thinking the same thing. We actually see this a lot. DeSean Jackson used to do this way too much. But it does allow an extra two seconds for the entire field to flood to one direction, which can easily open up gateways.

[@user-ms6jp3xd3b]

Ball handling is basic. Pack it tightly against the body on the outside of the dominant tackling angle. When getting hit use both arms to protect the ball. It was DRILLED into us in the old days.
