Rookies Expected to Buy Into Special Teams Value

Special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong and head coach Dan Quinn have built their system around a philosophy that gets rookies acclimated from the get-go.

It’s not unusual for a player who comes from college and has never played special teams before to come in and be a little resistant of the idea.
