Speaking of quickness at WR returning kicks - why isn't Arian Smith the obvious choice at them? I know he's been banged up but when he's healthy, he's deadly quick.

my guess would be that we don't have anyone else on the roster to replicate his skillset and what he does so he's too valuable to get hurt there. I remmeber Remarcus Brown back in 2011 was a kinda sorta similar type of athlete but if he got hurt it wouldn't really cripple our offense any, which wouldn't be the case if it were to happen to arian.

Arian Smith needs to stay healthy to take the top off the defense. And as fast as he is he’s actually not super shifty. He usually gets tackled by the first DB or Linebacker that he meets in the swing/ screen game. If he does get by it’s because there’s enough space for him to outrun them. Doesn’t have a bunch of moves. Reminds me of a longer Mecole Hardman.

Injury would be imminent with him

I see Arian as a straight line speed guy. I don’t see him being able to cut, and explode through blockers.
