I’d hate to have that job. Judging a ball 85ft in the air hang time 4-5sec looking down the field at 10 guys trained to inflict pain on you looking up, looking at the field, looking up, looking at the field.

Not much time to make a decision to either fair catch it or see if your fixing to get hit by a freight train or if you got a chance to run.

Some guys are just made to do it. Arenas, Palmer, Eddie Jackson, Mckinstry when he wasn't scared to death of the football

I’ll toss Brandon Brooks in there not that he was the best or top 5, but he was the smallest player on the field doing one of the most violent and dangerous positions.
Think he was like 5’5” 165 but he was very fast.

Like I said, a good PR has to have some gigantic balls on him. There's no substitute for that.

I agree Saban and Kool Aid as a punt returner was mystifying. Personally, my theory on why Kool Aid just let so many punts just roll was because he didn't want to take a chance on getting hurt and thus hurting his draft stock. I know I'll get down voted but that's my theory.

Eddie Jackson,


No telling what he could’ve done if he had been PR for two years. That guy might’ve been the best returner when it comes to navigating through traffic. It’s like he had a GPS for the endzone.

Mclaughlin picking up right where he left off in the Rose Bowl apparently.

His return against Ole Miss was amazing to watch. The GPS worked just as well on his pick sixes also.

Yeah wait til he gets in a game and his anxiety based yips come back into play. I’m sure him running a lap will fix it. Stupid arse Ryan Day. I hope he bad snaps it to cost them the Michigan game and Day gets shitcanned.

That interception and Eddie's punt return against Tennessee are two of my favorite Jackson highlights, along with his leading Minkah Fitzpatrick to the promise land against Arkansas
