Jaylen Waddle should not be on special teams for Alabama football.

Jaylen Waddle is one of the most dynamic players on the Alabama football roster. Not only does he bring a variety of skills to the table as a receiver, but he is one of the best special teams returners in college football. However, I believe that he should not be the starting punt returner for 2020.

Should Jaylen Waddle return punts and kicks against key opponents like Georgia, LSU, and Auburn? Absolutely. If a close game is one play away from having a different outcome, put your best returner on the field.
