Something worth noting is that Dressler is supposed to be a decent returner as well. If Thomas turns out to be a good return man it will mean that we'll have 2 good return men on the field. The enemy will no longer have the luxury of simply kicking away from our return threat. I'm thinking those two combined may give us the best return game in the NFL.
