Nyheim Hines Running as Top Kick Returner at OTAs
6 years agoIndianapolis Colts rookie running back Nyheim Hines has served as the team’s primary kick returner in organized team activities, per Kevin Hickey of Colts Wire. The Colts ranked 25th in the league with 590 yards of kick-return yardage in 2017, while ranking 18th in the league with 21.1 yards per kick return. With little competition for the job, Hines appears a lock to have the role come September, as the team continues to use him all over the field this offseason. While he doesn't have the size to be a bell-cow back, his rushing, receiving and returning skills should force the Colts to get him involved in the offense.
