Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz hailed Pittsburgh Steelers fourth-round pick Kaden Wetjen as one of the best return specialists he has encountered in his decades-long career. Ferentz shared his views during an appearance on The PM Team radio show. The comments highlight Wetjen's potential impact on special teams.
Ferentz, who has coached since 1977 and led Iowa since 1999, spoke highly of Wetjen's vision, judgment and speed on returns. He noted that Wetjen plays faster than his 4.47-second 40-yard dash time recorded at the NFL Combine and called him the best returner he has been around in the last two years. Ferentz added that he remains puzzled why opponents punted to Wetjen during the college season.
