Yahoo Sports NFL on Kaden Wetjen

STACKED’s take
Wetjen's poor return game (29 yards on four kicks) threatens his roster spot.
Wetjen, the fourth-round pick in April's draft, was brought in primarily for his return skills after averaging nearly 30 yards per punt return during his final season at Iowa. Friday night, he returned four kicks for a total of just 29 yards and nearly committed a costly turnover with a fumble on one of them (originally ruled a Jets recovery before being overturned by replay assist). His two catches for 79 yards against the Packers were encouraging, but he had fewer than 200 receiving yards for the Hawkeyes in his final season. He's probably not a serious threat to crack the return rotation consistently. To justify a roster spot longer term, he needs to show improved explosiveness on kicks.
