A player like Freeman has a better chance to stick with an NFL team than a skill position guy that doesn't play ST. I don't know if Fantuz has ever played ST in his career - - can you really imagine him getting down field on a kick to blow up a wedge? I could see a big hitting LB like Freeman filling this role.

If you're not coming in as a starter, you'd better be willing & able to crack heads on ST. Even Cam Wake had to play ST the first year when he signed with Miami.
