Why would you say that?  There’s very little evidence that a punt return is more dangerous than any other touch.  Over the years, lots of teams have had their best players return punts…

I think Hairston's going to be a great CB-- but he ain't built for getting tackled!

He’s about 15 lbs bigger than Worthy. Just sayin’.  

You mean the guy who was out for 2 1/2 games after bumping into Travis Kelce-- a collision that Travis barely noticed, but sent Worthy ass over elbows?

Stick him out there instead of Coleman a few plays a game see what happens. Half joking…but half not!

When I saw this thread I thought it was an idea to use Hairston and his speed as a kick returner.

Not so crazy? From AI:

 

Maxwell Hairston had a standout high school career at West Bloomfield High School in Michigan, graduating in 2021. He was a standout on the football team, playing both offense and defense, and led his team to a state championship victory in his senior year in 2020, catching the game-winning touchdown in double overtime. In his final high school season, he recorded 16 pass deflections, three interceptions, and three forced fumbles. 

 

Yeah, it's not gonna happen. But I do believe the NFL coaches don't think outside the box often enough. 

Can't Keon Coleman try to bulk up a bit and play TE? Can't Max Hairston run a fly pattern a couple times a game? Can't Josh Allen play special teams?

As i recall a fumble on a jet sweep was a big part of why we lost to the Patriots.  Put that play in the shredder and then burn the shreds.

that doesn’t seem like something to dwell on
