The days of WR Devin Hester as the team’s main kickoff and punt returner may be coming to an end pretty soon. We also saw in 2015 that the absence of Hester was a true setback with WR Eric Weems providing little spark in the return game. A playmaker like Addison could be coveted as his size is not ideal for the NFL but it’s little debate that Addison can be electric with the ball in his hands.
