Special teams are something that I hold very close to my heart. As a former college football player, I started a few games and was a rotational player throughout my four year career at the College of the Holy Cross (Go Saders). I never consistently started, but always wanted to find a way onto the field. Like others, I yearned to be a special teams “guy”. A special teams guy is someone the coaches insert into as many special teams units as possible, primarily focusing on kick and punt return coverage units, and even blocking on punt/kick returns. To be clear, my definition does not include the guys returning the kicks.
