Hope it works out for him. Guy deserves another chance.

It's the Panthers, so let's hope he does well but not well enough to help them actually win any games.

If he is healthy, Bears can poach him from their PS and he can return punts for the Bears. He has to be better than VJJ.

Well Trent Taylor is the punt returner so I'm not sure what Velus has to do with anything.
