Based on his tape, this kid has a chance to be special. He's electrifying as a returner AND a real good receiver. We may have really struck gold with this one.

Might as well have just kept Byrd smh

Byrd couldn't stay on the field. Otherwise, would've have love to keep him around. I hope Dortch has a chance to stick...it couldn't be any worse.

Dude was here for four years. Dude was injured in some capacity every year. At some point you have to let an injury-prone player go. Oh goodness, what do you know? He is injured right now as well.

Agree but I don’t think he’s hurt right now

You're right, he ended up playing last week only missing two games. It was a hamstring and I'm inclined to believe it will pop up again. But I am rooting for the guy.

I’m not expecting much if he was just on a PS. Maybe he could develop into something but ?

Lord knows if he drops a punt, people will be calling for his head

So if players have similar measurables, they're the exact same players, goodness 

Anyhow, just hang onto the football kid and I'll be happy

It looks like Byrd was limited in practice last week for the Cardinals with the hammy, but played in their game. He caught both of his targets for 60 total yards.

He didnt return punts in college did he? I think we as fans should be relieved the FO isn't forcing players in positions that arent comfortable with right?

I have no idea. I don't watch Georgia. But he had some good punt returns for us in the preseason

Awesome.  I watched tape on him and the kid from Virginia that is on Falcons PS predraft and was impressed with their return capabilities.  
Kid is a little jitterbug and will be fun to watch. Also has good hands unlike Ray Ray.

He apparently returned 7 punts while at UGA, 4 of them as a freshman
