Yeah it does sound like Demps would like to do both but I have my doubts if the Pats will be down with that. Training for track and training to play running back in the NFL are two different things. The hope was that by being on IR last season he could regain some bulk to hold up to the pounding. But now if he wants to drop all that and just keep his speed I think it lowers his value. There’s a chance his kickoff return ability is just so outstanding they keep him around, but can you really waste a roster spot on a 4th/5th RB and kick returner, especially when returners have been devalued due to rule changes?
