Lots of undersized players find their way on to NFL rosters via special teams. No, they may not be looking for punt returners, but they are looking for someone that is explosive in multi facets of the game. He already has the safety position down pat, but he is undersized. That is why, I do believe, he wanted to add to his highlight reel by having a good showing returning punts.
This was Amik’s senior day and we all know it. He got to return punts as a reward for how awesome he has been during his career here. Going for that high bounce on that punt is something you have to live with as the coach of someone like Amik. Always looking to make the big play. That’s okay, that’s who he is.. and that’s why he was named a Pro Football Focus first team all American corner.
Yes he plays corner, not safety Amos 😁
Noticed a substantial improvement in his tackling this year. He looks like a pro to me!
Indeed. Amik is a GREAT tackler now. He's in the right place to teach a class on how to tackle. We've still got too many people on our defense who think it's easier to bring somebody down at the shoulders instead of the legs. I'll never understand it.
Haynesville's legendary coach Red Franklin used to say football is all about blocking and tackling. It's all that matters. He said the rest of it is easy.
