    Slow? The guy average almost 24 yards a return. Granted, that isn't an elite number, but it is pretty damn good.

    I'll agree he's marginal as a receiver, but he is a very solid returner who knows how to utilize blocking to his advantage. It would be very difficult to find a #4 WR with as much experience and more capability in the return game.
    He averaged 23.8. You can watch and see he's no longer dynamic at returning kicks. He had a couple of flukey plays with bad tackling. He looks like the kick return equivalent of Noah Herron. Tramon Williams averaged 22.8 and offers more upside. There's Will Blackmon also. Maybe he looks better next year after a full training camp, but if he doesn't improve this offseason, he won't be with the team in 2008.

      I think he could have had at least one return for a touchdown if he wasn't chased down from behind. He had a nice average but I just can't say I was really impressed with him.

        Johnny Quinn? Wasn't there a tv show - a cartoon - with a guy named Johnny Quinn, back in the 70's?

        Oh, wait. That was Johnny Quest.

          No, but there's a cartoon character in Cleveland named Brady Quinn....
