Possible our punt returners are struggling to field the ball. Sherels may not have been a great return man, but at least you knew he was always going to catch the ball.
I thought he was a pretty good punt returner. He always caught the ball which is a huge part of PR. And he was shifty and could read the holes quite well. IIRC he was always ranked pretty high on net return average.

Agree, always thought Sherels was a good PR. Just cringed if he ever played Corner.

Yeah, but at that point we were screwed either way. Either playing a street FA or our special teams ace.

I have mega respect for Sherels. By all accounts, he was a good guy, very quiet, did his many jobs quite well (DB excluded). He was a poor mans Thielen. Came from nothing and made a good career doing the little things well. I love seeing that type succeed where so many talented players fail.

"Really just where he’s at, his spring is pretty much over just based upon the timing of things," O'Connell said. "But we expect him to make a full recovery and be ready to roll for training camp. It’s really just a precautionary thing, making sure we handled it now so he can get off to a good start — have a good four, five weeks in the summer to prep for training camp and be ready to roll."
