Clearly, he's no returner. So, do they keep him around as a corner? I think he gets cut and put on the practice squad.

Return skills are nonexistent.

*ball fielding skills non-existent.

Which, I'd suppose, is fundamental to returning punts/kicks. As the announcers said he's "raw" right now -- and suffering from understandable confidence issues. Hopefully we keep him in some capacity, because outside of his televised gaffes he's a pretty freakish athlete.

I could see him making another team's roster, but is it worth holding onto him in the chance that he develops? I'm not sure. He seems to be capable as a defensive back. Capable enough I suppose.

I like the qualitative perspective from guys like Woodson, who claims Shields has the "it" quality. Woodson has great football instincts himself so I give extra weight to what he has to say. Shields is struggling in a returning role but his physical skills may necessitate a practice squad spot.

If guys like Giacomini can keep a spot on this roster, sheesh ...

I have said from the day he was drafted, they took him out of WR and put him at CB for a reason. He was also a gunner and the only time he carried the ball was on a hand off.

He did get the int.

No way he makes it to the PS. Keep him on the roster, in two years he'll start ahead of Tramon Williams. Kid only has one year on defense in college. He's still learning. He's gonna be a good one. Can't field kicks, but he comes up with INTs pretty consistently.

Shields is a huge talent. HUGE talent. He needs to harness his ability on an every down basis and avoid the issues which plagued him before the draft. If he can do this, he will indeed be the steal of the draft period and a tremendous asset to the Packers. If the Packers get a bit creative, his speed could be used in a lot of ways, which would give other teams something else to worry about. I would love to see Shields make the team. We havent had a versatile special teams player in quite some time.

He's not a returner, but I think his coverage skills are improving. He's also not a bad candidate to put on the coverage unit. Imagine that speed as a gunner. Actually, he made a nice play on punt coverage.

---

I think that with time, he will evolve into a better returner. I think confidence is his main issue.

He looked pretty good while playing on defense - had the INT.

I don't want to see him cut, only to be picked up by another team. I'd rather have him on our team than Jaret Bush.

---

He was an excellent gunner in college yet we've tried to make him a returner since OTAs and it's consistently failed. Time to play him to his strengths.

Seems to have the raw ability to become a good CB too. No chance he clears waivers imo.

Still too raw to rely on in 2010, almost wish we could redshirt him.
