WATCH: Christian Kirk rips off long punt return before tripping over his own feet
The Arizona Cardinals chose former Texas A&M star Christian Kirk in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, and it’s clear they plan to use him in a variety of roles.
In addition to playing receiver, Kirk is also a valuable return man, and on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, he got to show off his skills in the punt game.
As you can see in the video below, Kirk ripped off an impressive 38-yard return, and could have had even more if not for the fact that he tripped over his own two feet:

Kirk will definitely be hearing about this from his teammates when the Cardinals break down the game tape.
However, if he continues to dominate in the punt-return game, all will be forgiven when the regular season starts.
