Former Florida RB Mike Gillislee (2009-12) is unlikely to be sent out for future kickoff returns after his head-scratching mistake for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
The Jets picked up an easy touchdown when Gillislee appeared to forget that a kickoff is a live ball, unlike a punt.

The Bills’ own Twitter account was among those perplexed by Gillislee’s actions.
Gillislee doesn't field the live ball on the kickoff, Jets recover in their endzone. Touchdown. So, yeah.

Gillislee later scored a TD that cut the Jets’ lead to 30-10, the game’s final score.
