Prince at WR?

I don't know why I thought of this right now, but if the offense struggles with pass catching like it did at times last year, does anyone else see Prince being put in as WR in certain sets? IMO, I think Prince catches the ball well and could be an extremely dangerous target in mid-range routes.

Prince had great hands in high school and was a standout wr/rb... butttttttt he's too important to mess with on an offensive set... we do have a big new receiver this year that will make huge plays by the name of Mike McNeil.

 
I think we could use him on a few gadget plays but I don't think we should use him too much. We need him to stay fresh and healthy if we want to be successful.

 
I don't think we'll see that. JP wanted to have Prince back with Niles returning kicks and punts but they thought it would be too taxing for him.

This.

Amukamara is too important a cog in our defense to be messing around on offense. Sure, we can bring up how Suh would sometimes lead block on the offense, but that's a different situation. We should have enough talent and depth at the WR position to deter anything like Prince playing on offense. Suh playing fullback solely dealt with the fact that he was a 300 pound behemoth that could probably lead block better than anybody on our team.

 
Think it might be something to put Prince back as a returner along with Paul. All of us saw what he did with his return against Oklahoma, it's indicative to what he could do on kickoffs and punts. Put him back there and lets see a touchdown or two from the kicking game.

 
defense is what will win us out games (and hopefully MNC). that is where we need our best players. heck, he could probably get more td's on defense than offense.

 
I'd like to see Prince in for a couple of crackbacks on LBs.

Actually, I'll bet he would make a fine receiver. Blazing speed, and seems to have good hands.
