The Pittsburgh Steelers claimed veteran return man Jacoby Jones off waivers from the San Diego Chargers on Thursday and they’re hoping he can do one of the many things that Dri Archer couldn’t do and that’s return kickoffs.
While Jones brings old legs and a poor recent resume with him to Pittsburgh, one would think that he’ll be able to do a better job at returning kickoffs than Archer has done in the coming winter months.
Archer, sub 4.3 speed and all, never played fast for the Steelers in the kick return game and that ultimately is what led to him being released in favor of Jones on Thursday.
