Eric Weems is stepping up for the Atlanta Falcons
As a rookie WR in 2008, Weems only caught 1 pass for 4 yards and he returned 1 kickoff for 19 yards. With Jerious Norwood injured when the season started the Falcons needed someone to step up and Weems has certainly done that. He has returned 10 kickoffs for 255 yards (25.5 avg) this season and he has also returned 7 punts for 49 yards (7.0 avg). Weems has seemed to find a home for himself on returns and that has allowed the Falcons to get Jerious Norwood to focus on playing running back which should help the team.
