Meet the Titans’ rookie who has become the best (and most unexpected) kick returner in the NFL

He doesn’t get enough credit for the excellent position he continues to put the offense in. He’s been killing it and is key piece to this team at the moment.
He has me glued to the screen on every kick/punt return. He’s been awesome. Feels like forever ago when everyone thought Proche won the return job.
He tries so hard on each return to take it to the house. He’s gotten so close so many times so I feel confident he’ll break one soon.
Every single non-Titans friend I have this year:
“Yo is that guy’s name Dike?”
Guy went to my high school (albeit 13 years after me lol) so I’m going nuts every time I’m watching him return these kicks. Pretty cool.
Doesn’t even look like he’s running hard but he’s just flying past everyone. Absolute dawg
It’s been so great having a reliable returner again. It seems like there’s a good chance he makes the Pro-Bowl as a returner since he’s got a huge lead for total return yards (2nd place in kick-return yards is ~260 yards behind Dike).
Would be great if he could take the DMase development route and become a trusted receiver as well …
Borgonzi really nailed it with the 4th round WRs. He is so fluid and decisive returning kicks, literally has a big play on ST every week. Ward has missed him a couple times on big plays down field as well. Him and Elic look like they may be really special pieces, even if they are complimentary to a stud #1 type WR down the road.
Consider how improved all Special teams are from last year!
Hey… Dike has been better in Madden for me than Elic or Van Jefferson 😅
He’s bigger faster and stronger too, he’s the first member of the Dike Crew.
This is a great article. How much are his stats skewed based on how many attempts he gets over everyone else in the league?
I had dike as a Mecole Hardman type in my draft analysis, looks like he’s fitting that mold so far with higher upside but Hardman was also a great returner for the cheifs
Dike has been a beast of a returner, even noticed him getting some targets in our game against the cards
