Title: Draft preview: Special teams

" Let's take a look at some of the special teams players in the 2009 and about -- Well no it's not very often that teams used Jack -- some punters are takers or just pure retirement but the patriots have done in the past blaster they jacked in Matthew Slater. Which appear return man and also. Steve I guess -- you as a place kicker in 2006 we all know how that worked out as this -- Set a franchise record for TO goes -- 36. And let Deanna talent points so is there another Stephen Gostkowski in this draft what there is the patriots probably won't pick up -- they have the real thing but. Few names to keep in mind from a place kicker standpoint Graham good now at Florida State. He won he -- award as the top place kicker in the country in college last year also with five of seven on Diaw both the fifty yards plus which is pretty good at the college level. You look at punters the patriots brought back Chris Hansen. Very good at the type of directional punting at the patriots like to do which can sometimes be deceiving when it comes in that average -- just punting average. Kevin Huber of Cincinnati was one of the top punters in the country last year. Very good had a lot about punts inside the twenty in very few touch back they believe you only had two touch back last year so we knew -- going to punt like that that the guy can change field position. Most times you're talking about special teams player in the in the draft you look at a guy -- pastor -- what a huge impact he made for the Chicago Bears is there another Devin Hester and his (%expletive) or maybe the patriots about -- Randy Tate. He's someone who came in here and visit University of North Carolina wide receiver. He had his season ended. Bite knee injury -- I -- the ACL ligament in his right knee. But easy ACC's all time leading kick off return man any at six kicks returned for touchdowns. He's also one of only nine players and NCAA history to return a pot in a kickoff for a touchdown in the same game to certainly an injury concerns and injury question question -- with tape but he's a guy who could not only make an impact a wide receiver. But could make a huge impact. In the return game which actually was a straight to the pages last year Ellis Hobbs being the primary kickoff returner. Averaged 28 point five yards per return were second in the act out the team is also in the top ten. In punt returns but you're always looking for that explosive player that game changer when it comes to the return area."
