‘”He’s more of a guy that’s just a weapon with the ball in his hands, whether it’s a punt returner, kick returner, as a receiver,” Beane said. “He runs jet sweep, he runs the Wildcat so we just felt this was a chance to add another guy that Ken Dorsey and Josh and the crew can use just as another offensive piece.”‘
