When Knile Davis came out of college for the draft, one thing that was not on his scouting report was anything about his ability to return kicks or punts. The reason for that is actually extremely simple: it was not something that he did in college. Or in high school.
“I’d never returned kicks in my life”, he told Chris Adamski earlier this offseason. But he said that the Chiefs’ special teams coordinator decided to give him a look back there as a rookie. “So I went for it”, he said, “and I had success”.
