Calvin Austin III Confident He’ll Be Ready To Do Kick Returns ‘And Exceed At It’ If Called Upon

All he has to do is run back a few kicks during training camp and the preseason, and he’ll win the return man job.

Coming off a foot injury, the Memphis product confirmed that he has been getting work in the return line this offseason, telling Amanda Godsey exclusively that he’s “comfortable doing it, so whatever I’m asked to do, I’m gonna be ready to do it and exceed at it”.
