In Eric Weems, Titans get a two-for-one special-teamer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- In Eric Weems, the Tennessee Titans feel like they’ve landed a two-for-one combo.
He’ll be their return man, but he’ll also chase kick and punt returners.
Weems led the 2016 NFC champion Atlanta Falcons in punt returns (24 returns, 11.4-yard average), kick returns (17 returns, 23-yard average) and special-teams tackles (15).
That’s a rare trifecta.
“I think it starts with the attitude, you’ve got to have the attitude,” Weems said Monday during his introduction to the Nashville media. “You find that most return men are not going to cover. It’s just the way I was brought up, never back down from anything.
“Whatever coach needs you to be or needs you to do, you have to do it.”
