That\u2019s important. Kerley has been doing that job when healthy and that\u2019s a terrible way to run an impact special team position like PR. The guy who runs a 90 yard return can\u2019t be busting his rear on offense too and be expected to make a huge play. Keep that returner fresh and maybe he breaks a big play. \u00a0Some might say PR is not a \u201cstarter\u201d position and to that I say don\u2019t be a dummy. Saunders \u201cstarts\u201d as a PR day one, and maybe he\u2019s a replacement for Kerley on real offense someday over the rainbow. Or maybe he\u2019s just an awesome punt returner and that\u2019s fine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday the NY Jets signed another one of their draft picks, this time it was Jalen Saunders\u00a0(4th Round &#8211; 104th Overall selection).
