"Patriots cornerback Ellis Hobbs, who returned a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in Sunday's 49-26 win over the Raiders, has been named the AFC special teams player of the week (Boston Globe)."
Ellis Hobbs has been a great kick returning for the Patriots all season. He is one of my favorite players on the Patriots, even though I don't believe he will ever truly be a #1 CB. If the Patriots had a shutdown corner (Samuel, cough, cough) I think you would see how good Hobbs could be at corner or nickleback. Hobbs takes a lot of risks, but I like his style, and he is always a threat to bring a kick back for the Patriots, which is different since the Patriots have not had many guys like that in their history.
