It is always good when walk-ons earn playing time, and that is what we saw last season with today’s player.

A great way to earn playing time as a walk-on is to excellent on special teams. The kick coverage, punt return, kick return, and punt coverage units are where guys can really find a place to play, as exemplified by Malcolm Dotson. To my knowledge he never ran a route in a game despite being listed as a wide receiver, but his blinding speed had him as a mainstay as a gunner on the punt team for several seasons.
