Ryan Switzer is the rare ‘Wes Welker type’ who actually plays like Wes Welker

Posted Apr 25, 2017
Ryan Switzer is the 5’8 firecracker of a wide receiver who made a name for himself by doing one thing exceedingly well while playing at North Carolina. Punt to him. I triple-dog dare ya. Sure, he only ran a 4.52 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, but Switzer’s fast. Anyone who’s ever tried to chase him down on punt returns will attest to that. (SB Nation)
