Nwangwu returned three kickoffs for 157 yards, including a 99-yard touchdown, in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.
Scouting Report
The big, fast running back has wasted no time making an impact as a kick returner, showing that he is a threat to go all the way any time he gets his hands on the ball. However, as a running back he still looks like a work in progress. Although sure-handed, he has to become more decisive and better anticipate where the hole is going to open.
Long Range Potential: Kickoff/punt return threat and depth running back.
