Jaylen Waddle will be player to watch

Hey I don't hate threads about how good waddle is, he almost single handedly won the Iron bowl for us.

Do we keep him as our return guy?

Obviously he is the best returner in the country, but also is clearly one of the best receivers. I wonder if we won't want to tire him out/give him unnecessary hits outside of lining up on offense. Saban doesn't have a history of this (Christian Jones, Cyrus Jones, Arenas), but things are changing in terms of player safety,the WRs behind him are largely unproven and I would think that Eddie Jackson comes to the coaches' mind when considering this.

There have to be plenty of guys on the team that would great returners (maybe not excellent like Waddle) but no one can match him at WR outside of Smith.

With every punt he catches it is usually 10+ yard advantage Bama. You put the ball in your best playmakers hands - and he is BAMA’s most explosive threat.

Waddle doesn't seem to mind.

He’s a football player - he can take it. Can’t live in fear. Do u wear a mask?

Unless it's late, late in a ballgame and we're behind, really no need to have Waddle on Kickoffs. The way the rules are right now, even being able to fair-catch outside the endzone, decent starting field position is not that hard by. Punts are a different thing. They are dynamic backbreakers and we have the best in the country and it's not close. Waddle is a mercurial punt returner, like Davis Palmer, just more top speed. And a big shoutout to our punt return team. It was so much better in '19' than '18'. Jeff Banks getting the guys to block without penalties was a huge improvement.
