    Mixon will for sure be in the mix. KO return team I'd imagine.

    Hill isn't going to redshirt. Dude is way too talented . It's not like he buried at 3 or 4 on the depth chart.
    He could be the number 2 back before the season is over.

    At this point, he's closer to red shirting than being second team. But I wouldnt stick my beck out that he redshirts yet either.

    How talented are the other backs? The answer is we dont know, so let's pump the brakes on Hill I know he is talented but so are the guys in front of him. Let's give them a shot before writing them off.

    I can get on board with this. Both are electric and can take it to the house.
    Trivia question: Wonder when our last return TD was in an Sec game?

    We had a KO TD in 2014. There was 7 total returns for TD in SEC only games last year, Kick and Punt combined.

    Let's see:

    1. Can't block.**
    2. Doesn't know the playbook.**
    3. Forgotten what a football looks like after playing it his entire life and being a four star recruit in high school.**
    4. Doesn't spend enough time in film room.**

    It's not the truth but it's what we will be told. And then once Aeris graduates he will magically become a master at the running back position.

    I can live with this. I'd probably rotate Mixon and Gray at PR myself.

    Have we ever given Brandon Bryant a look there. Possible fastest guy on the team.

    I'm not sure, but can he field kicks and punts? Part of it probably is because Mixon and when he's healthy Dear, and Gray are just really good at it. Myles too.

    I really liked how Leon Berry (Sp?) returned kicks back in the day. Dude didn't juke or sidestep. Went from catching the ball to mach 3 in about 4 steps.
