Rashid Shaheed selected to the Pro Bowl as a kick returner

I think they meant he should not be returning kicks from 5-6 yards in the end zone to only reach the 22 when he could have taken the touchback and netted the team a few extra yards.

But all that return yardage adds up and looks good on your stat sheet when pro bowl voting begins, and I imagine every player has a Pro Bowl bonus in their contract, so good for him.

All that return yardage looks even better when the returner gets a few out to mid field or beyond setting up the offense in near scoring positions. You can't do it if you don't try it. His long kickoff return this year (that wasn't called back) was 28 yards and his career long is 31 yards in less than a year and a half of games played. ShaZoom is a threat to take it the distance every time he touches the ball.
