    5th WR doesn't typically see the field all that much and we have seen those players on the bottom of the depth chart must have value on ST. Dunn on the other hand could have value as a good returner but I hope its for punts because kick returns have been sharply curtailed in the new NFL. If he cant do punts, im afraid his potential impact will be limited.

      Problem is, Dunn is not a Punt returner. Didn't return a single one last year. And he has zero WR skills as well. Brown has to be the guy.

        If that is the case, then yeah Dunn is probably out. But does that automatically mean Brown makes the roster? Without much ST ability, I would normally say send the rook to the practice squad. But he does have some size, if he can do a little blocking, he might help make up for the lack of TEs until some of those guys heal up.

          Does a team really need a KO returner anymore? Most kicks are in the end zone now anyways due to the new, stupid, rules.

          Dunn better be able to return punts.

            Itīs only a game, but what I saw from J. Brown he seem a good receiver. He will be 5th WR on the roster this season.

              I don't see Dunn, Gilreath, or Moye being Brown's competition. I think the 5 spot should be a competition between Brown and Woods and I prefer Woods from what I've seen of the 2. I like em both a lot. And I think with the way Wheaton has performed, Cotch may not be so necessary and maybe he's a surprise cut and we keep Brown and Woods?

                Why do people keep saying Brown is fast? He runs a 4.6+.
                Trolls are people too.

                  You are looking at this all wrong

                  He IS SO GOOD he can make every catch WITH HIS EYES CLOSED. IMPRESSIVE!

                  In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:
