BaaadThingsMan Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I can see a scenario wherein this happens. Wade wins KR job and becomes KR/RB3 on game days. This would allow them to cut Roberts and keep more young WRs on the active roster. Wade will get a chance, guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddyjj Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Not sure he will make it as a return man, especially punts for reasons already noted. Yes he had a 65 yard TD run on his first NFL carry (preseason vs eventual roister cuts) and a fun 46 yd catch and run. But per this excerpt from BR, the rest of his numbers were pedestrian vs 3rd and 4th stringers. The former rugby star joined the Bills through an international outreach program, but became a mini-sensation after his preseason debut. Wade took his first ever carry 65 yards to the house. A week later, he did it again, breaking loose on a catch-and-run and careening across the field for 48 yards. He would finish the preseason with eight carries for 84 yards and a touchdown, adding four catches for 56 yards—but for a brief stint, fans had visions of greatness. So he averaged 2.9 yds on his other 7 carries and 2.7 yds on his other 3 catches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
